    To all,

    We need to be able to run FrontPage server extensions on our YDL
Champion Server 1.2 G4/450. Unfortunately, the extensions, which are (I
believe) only available in binary format, are not distributed for PowerPC
Linux... the closest relatives would be x86 Linux and RS/6000 series
machines.

    Has anyone managed to get the server extensions working on a PowerPC?
Is source code available, or has anyone come up with a set of
'FrontPage-compatible' extensions?

    Some one noted:

    I've never heard of binfmt. How would I get my YDL server to run x86
Linux or DOS binaries under a G4? Perhaps this might solve the above
problem...

    Thank you all in advance for your assistance.

                            Sincerely,

                            Robert Vogt IV
