On an RT (bill-the-cat) running 6.0C, file does not recognize vax
executables (ie claims that a "demand paged pure executable not
stripped" is a "command text").
Similarly,
on a vax (charon) running 6.0C, file does not recognize rt
executables (ie claims that a "demand paged pure executable not
stripped" is a "command text").
I was simply going to report the above, and ask when it was going to
be fixed, but that I'd quickly check what more did for those files.
more refused to display the vax version on both the vax and rt, yet
tried to display the rt version on both the vax and rt.
This seems a bit wrong:
charon: cat foo.c
main()
{
printf("hello, world\n");
}
charon: cc -o foo_vax foo.c
charon: foo_vax
hello, world
charon:
bill-the-cat: cat foo.c
main()
{
printf("hello, world\n");
}
bill-the-cat: cc -o foo_rt foo.c
bill-the-cat: foo_rt
hello, world
bill-the-cat:
charon: file foo_vax
foo_vax: demand paged pure executable not stripped
charon: file foo_rt
foo_rt: commands text
charon:
bill-the-cat: file foo_rt
foo_rt: demand paged pure executable not stripped
bill-the-cat: file foo_vax
foo_vax: commands text
bill-the-cat:
charon: more foo_vax
******** foo_vax: Not a text file ********
charon: more foo_rt
[INSERT GARBAGE HERE]
bill-the-cat: more foo_vax
******** foo_vax: Not a text file ********
bill-the-cat: more foo_rt
[INSERT GARBAGE HERE]
