Is Debian able to run my very old "a.out" programs?

The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ - Compatibility issues
Make sure your kernel has a.out support built into it, either directly (CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT=y) or as a module (CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT=m). (Debian's kernel-image package contains the module binfmt_aout.) If your kernel supports a.out binaries by a module, then be sure that the binfmt_aout module is loaded. You can do this at boot time by entering the line binfmt_aout into the file /etc/modules. You can do it from the command line by executing the command insmod DIRNAME/binfmt_aout.

The hardest part in building Stiquito is crimping the nitinol, and this is also the hardest part to teach. I have therefore started urging builders to use screws instead of crimps. Screws do not hold as well as crimps over time, but in the short term they are easier to adjust.

How can I see these old programs?

FAQ at PTV Digital Archive
Viewing old broadcasts is much more difficult than it should be, given that many of these programs were produced with public funds. The lack of accessibility partially reflects an ongoing debate between commercial organizations concerned with protecting their intellectual property, and nonâ?"commercial archives that wish to provide broad public access. But it also reflects the high cost of making new copies of programs from old videotape.

MT-NewsWatcher requires Mac OS 8.1 or later, with version 1.0.3 or later of the Appearance Manager extension installed. Earlier versions had bugs, or too limited functionality to be useful.
