I am using Mandrake 8.1 which has the 2.4.8 kernel. I thought memory mapped files was available on Linux---am I wrong? > >Why do you think that?

Anyone heard of such a thing? Sorry this is getting off topic into licensing issues. So this means that if you use in your proprietory software a call to CreateProcess() or exec() to launch binutils (objdump) it would be illegal? Also what if you use objdump standalone and create a dump file. Then you parse the dump file using your own code?
