Is is possible to convert files from one executable object file format to another, eg between the following: $ file a a: Microsoft a.out separate pure segmented word-swapped 386 executable $ file b b: iAPX 386 executable Is there any PD utilities?

System V release 3.2 runs both executable formats and handles the differences by being aware of which format of executable is being run.
