> Is there a homepage for the em86 program? All I can find are ftp http://www.cs.rose-hulman.edu/~donaldlf/em86/index.html Leslie Donaldson was the last person to work on em86 and bring it somewhat up to date. The files that he links to can be found here. http://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/linux/alphalinux/ Using LD_PRELOAD pointing to the libc5 compat libs on your RH system will get it to work. That's as much as I remember, I havent touched it in a long time. Peter -- www.linuxalpha.org www.alphadriven.org Peter Petrakis Warrior/Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] "<BLAM!!> Who the hell are you!?
