Microport doesn't include ADB with the system, thus you have no | choice in that matter at ALL! +--------------- Even if it did, you'd lose. System V adb doesn't seem to be able to handle anything but COFF executables WITH SYMBOL TABLES. (Without a symbol table, it seems to blow up on a $c, at least on our system.) This is a lossage. On the other hand, it forced me to put together a good binary editor.
