My question is will any machine with /bin/i386 compile and run the same binaries as another machine with the file. Does the file /dynix (for example) have any bearing on this? -Dave -- Inet: mtv@milton.u.washington.edu * 8kyu * UUNET: ...uunet!uw-beaver!u!mtv

Yes, it probably does; machines with a "/dynix" file may well not run the same binaries as machines with a "/vmunix" file (Sun386i's, for example), and they may not run the same binaries as machines with what I assume is a "/unix" file (System V/386), either (SunOS on the 386i won't run System V/386 binaries, and System V/386 won't run SunOS binaries; I suspect Dynix won't run either, although I assume Dynix/PTX or whatever they call their System V port will run System V/386 binaries). (I think SunOS on the 386i does have a "/usr/bin/i386" file.)
