THANKS!

Unfortunately, the file output is:

# file icverify
icverify:       Microsoft a.out separate pure segmented word-swapped 386
executa
ble
#

I think I'll back up that file and try fix2000 anyway.  I'll just keep a
copy elsewhere 'in case' .....unless you think it would be a bad idea to use
fix2000 in this instance.

Whether it works or not, thank you for your assistance.

"file nameofyourprogram" will tell you whether it's an ELF,
COFF or something else (like a shell script or just
unrecognized data).

You can use "fix2000" on specific binaries that were
compiled on older systems: see
