[net.unix-wizards] Conversion of a.out files

mah (02/27/83)

	I am looking for a program (might already be available on unix) that
converts an executable file (such as a.out) from one machine to another
machine.

	Example:  I work on machine ixlpc and received an executable file
but not the source to it.  This file (I assume) can only be executed on
machines that are similar to ixlpc.  I used nusend to send a copy of the
file to another machine (IHLTS).  When I tried to execute it on that mach-
ine, it did not work.

	If you have any information as to why this happens and/or how I
can correct it, I would greatly appreciate it if you could mail it to me
via electronic mail.

				Thank you,
