Doesn't anyone think it would be useful to take a linked executable and tear it to pieces? Or is this a nasty no-no, like disassemblers and decompilers and other reverse engineering tools? Or is it just too expensive to have a decomposable a.out format? (Is it impossible to decompose current a.out formats?) -- Felix Lee flee@cs.psu.edu
