Subject: problems with binaries Date: Wed, 20 Nov 1991 12:18:00 CST From: johnsonm@stolaf.edu (Michael K. Johnson)
I am new to Linux, and have been having some problems. My main one right
now is that I have been bringing binaries from tsx-11 to my computer via
dos-formatted disks, and using mread to transfer them to Linux. They
uncompress without a hitch, but when I try to run the executable, Linux
complains that it cannot execute the binary file. I am also having trouble
doing porting work, because I have (as far as I can tell) no editor and
no pager. If I am wrong on either point, please point me in the right
direction. Even my binaries for sed and tr didn't work, so I can't even
use them as editors.
I have all sorts of ideas as to why the binaries don't want to execute,
but not enough knowledge. If I can get an editor or pager working, I
can look at the source to see why this is happening, but I have a chicken/
egg problem here.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
