DESCRIPTION

Sranlib is similar to ranlib except that it operates on libraries containing SPUR binaries.  See the manual entry for ranlib for details on what it does. 
 

BUGS

The existence of this program at all is a bug.  There should not be different versions of ranlib for different instruction sets, but rather a single version that can handle all binary formats.
