Unix SVR3.2, or ESIX rev D to be exact.
 
I used 'convert' to convert the archive format from xenix to unix,
but the new archive lacks a symbol table.  'ar st' gets confused with
this archive and does not generate the table either.
 
'ar -x' was able to exctract the object files from the archive, and
'file' describes them as '8086 relocateable (Microsoft)'.
 
Question:
1.  Am I on the right path?
2.  How to convert the '8086 relcateable (Microsoft)' to the desired
    unix 386 format?
  
Thanks!
