We recently acquired some packages like MS-windows and GEM for the
PC/AT, which are accompanied by lots of libraries, for DOS.

Since I would dearly like to do development under Xenix, I would
be glad if I could convert those libraries to Xenix format.

If I copy one of them to Xenix and apply the file-command to it,
it is recognized as a DOS-library so some support is there, but
I looked in vain for some command like arcv that would convert it
to the format I want.

Does anyone have such a program?
If not could someone supply me with information about the format?
I can figure it out by myself if I try hard enough, but my mind is not
set for cryptology at the moment.

As they say, thanks in advance,
