Eric,

Your logic is skewed.  Ask yourself this ... if you copied a Mac binary
to a Microsoft Windows box  could your run that program?  The answer is
no.  Reason?  It is a different platform.  Different standard libraries,
different kernel, and different binary format (actually, I need to check
on the binary format ... I am not sure what type of binaries are run on
SCO).
