I had used the backend generator BEG v1.75 by Helmut Emmelmann [1] for an Oberon-2 compiler as part of my computer science thesis in 1995.

Trying to resurrect this old code base [2], I run into the problem that the original BEG binary which I still have is in an old a.out format, and I have been unsuccessful so far to get it to run on a modern Linux.

I reached out to Helmut Emmelmann via the contact info from his web site [3], but haven't received any response.

What other options should I look into?
