Hello,

I'm a bit frustrated with Linux whiteboard application, called wb. Its main repository is found at ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/wb The archive I mean is called linux-wb-1.59.tar.Z

I've used it successfully for several years in SuSE Linux, last time about 2 years ago, but recently it's impossible for me to run it in Open SuSE 11.3.

After unpacking, there are several files, including the binary executable wb. The file command shows that the wb executable is of type "Linux i386 demand-paged executable (QMAGIC)", so seemingly not an ELF format. I get the "Cannot execute binary file" error message when I try to execute it with the "./wb" command. I've searched for the solution to this problem, but found nothing.

What perplexes me most is the fact that the repository remains intact since 1993, so what used to work for me for several years is the same binary that I struggle with today.

Could somebody please help me executing it ? Mark.
