Do we have anything to convert from elf or ecoff to a.out? I
thought PMAX machines could mop boot ecoff kernels. Apparently this is not
the case? I use to mop boot my VAX from a pmax machine, but someone said
the mop code was too "VAXcentric" to work with other archs. Is that still
true or is the compiler/elf2ecoff to blame here?

The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a
dialog box and lets you press 'OK' first.
