Cool. Although this is an Ami bios. :/ I should have mentioned it.

I have utilities called cmospwd and cmosdump that will read the
bios. They compile and run on other linux boxes. But when I try and
run them from a second floppy mounted as /mnt in Tom's - nothing. I
can see the files with ls, but trying to run it in /mnt as ./cmospwd
does nothing - "filename": not found. ??? Obviously I've overlooked
something or Tom's disk is a little different. Have you any ideas?
