Thanks for the information. I knew 3.2.2 "supported" ELF binaries because I
have the version of Oracle for 3.2.2 which with one extra floppy is the
version of Oracle for V.4 !
I hadn't realised it was such a bastardised product - ELF binaries supported
but not for the kernel - Yeuchh !!!!!
Oh well - live and learn :-)
