Using A/UX libraries and objects with MPW !!

If you want to use A/UX object files or libraries
(most notably, /lib/libc.a), yes it is possible.

The code is available via anonymous FTP from iraun1.ira.uka.de,
in pub/mac/aux2obj. It's a shar file, attached to some "documentation".

WARNING: This is a first and highly experimental release, and it's probably
not suitable for production development. It is definitely not a plug-and-play
solution.

You'll also need Perl (from jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov, among others).
A version of the MPW Shell which actually works under A/UX 2.0 might also
be useful. For anything bigger than "hello,world" you might need MPW 3.2
anyway because 32-bit references to code and data will be necessary.

NB: Can anyone mail me the AppleSingle/AppleDouble file format specs?
