Not to butt in on the conversation here but I just have to say. I am miffed. I installed 3.0 RELEASE with the understanding that 3.0 RELEASE saw the end of a.out and was 100% ELF from the get go. It was all over the groups and this list as well. It now apears that I am still out of the loop as far as a.out/ELF go's. How then can I get this system up to ELF without a major overhaul? Or is that even possible?
