Hello all , Here I am again , Maybe my ? might be relative to the
community .
I grabbed an archive of precompiled gnu software , During the
extraction I got a 'warning' from a gzip'd tar & decided to dig into
the
underlying tarball to see if it was trully corrupted or repairable .
Tada , I did a silly and less'd one of the binary files and noticed
that the underlying file was 'ar'd by /usr/local/alphaev6-dec-osf5.1b/bin/ar ,
well all said and done My ol' as100 ain't a ev6 .
So my Question , Could I use these programs that were created on a ev6 cpu
system on my ev4 ?
Tia , JimL
