no reason ...

oops, I did not put it there, I knew since several years that it exists,
but was forced to keep my mouth shut since I had signed a non-disclosure
agreement, when BlackBox was still closed source. There are also some
vague comments about it on the formus at oberoncore.ru

It originated from OMiSys, around 2001/2002 but as far as I
understand Andrew Thomas' remarks, he has modified it slightly.
His modifications are in MyPatch.txt

I did not unpack it until today, but as I remember,
it was possible to create executables with the version
I knew ... but apparently you're correct.

I have only vague recollection of the ELF Format, but
as far as I remember there is not so much difference
between the shared object and the executable format.
Moreover it is well documented:
http://www.x86.org/ftp/manuals/tools/elf.pdf

Maybe it is easier if you contact Fyodor Tkachov since
(according to my mail archive) he received the last
version from OMiSys around May 2005. His contact
info can be found here:
http://www.inr.ac.ru/~ftkachov/contact_info.htm
