[comp.sys.next] sun binaries

carter%sloth@gatech.edu (Carter Bullard) (02/07/89)

good evening mr. phelps:

   several of us here at GaTech have noticed that Sun 3.x binaries
run on the NeXT machine, with some degree of success.

   the only problem that i have seen, is that these binary files
do not read the date properly. I cannot claim, however, 
that an exhaustive search for incompatabilities has been 
attempted.


   your comments are welcome.

My understanding is that this compatibility will cease as of 0.9.  Has a
decision been made on this?  Anyone want to clarify?
