This is an experimental RISC OS loader for static-only ELF binaries written by John-Mark Bell. This loader became obsolete by the SOManager module developed as part of the GCCSDK 4 project as SOManager will work for both static and dynamic ELF binaries (the latter using one or more ELF based shared libraries which also need to be loaded).

Note there is another possibility for dealing with static ELF binaries on RISC OS is to make use of the GCCSDK 4's 'elf2aif' program which converts static ELF binaries to a normal RISC OS applications (filetype &ff8) so that no ELF loader at all is needed.
