| A public Beta test version of FreePort Express is now available at:
| http://www.novalink.com/freeport-express
|
| FreePort Express is a binary translator (running on Alpha) which permits
| you to convert your SunOS 4.1.x (same as Solaris 1.x) user executables
| into Digital UNIX executables in minutes. FreePort Express runs under
| Digital UNIX V3.0 or later, and is available FREE of charge (hence the name).
|
| FreePort Express can handle the translation if your executable is:
| SunOS 4.1.x
| user mode
| not priviledged
| is a valid a.out
|
| Things it won't handle:
| programs which rely upon SunOS file system hierarchy or file
| formats where such differ from those in Digital UNIX
| uses SunView
| is a driver
| broken code
|
... and more
