+.Dt ELF2EXE 8
+.Os FreeBSD 4.0
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm elf2exe
+.Nd convert Alpha ELF executable to AlphaBIOS / ARCS format
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm elf2exe
+.Ar infile
+.Ar outfile
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Elf2exe
+creates an executable that can be loaded by the AlphaBIOS or ARCS consoles
+as found on systems designed for 
+.Tn Windows/NT .
+The input file must have been 
+created as a non-relocatable standalone binary with a load address within 
+the memory range available for user programs (0x80000000 to 0x806fdfff
+and 0x80900000 to at least 0x80ffffff).
+.Pp
+The command prints a list of sections found in the ELF executable and the 
+section sizes and offsets of the output file for diagnostic purposes.
+.Pp
+Given an object file 
+.B src.o
+the follwoing two commands will create a binary for ARCS:
+.Dl ld \-o a.out \-M \-N \-Ttext 0x80900000 src.o\c
+.Dl elf2exe a.out a.exe\c
+.Sh BUGS
+.Nm Elf2exe
+does not even attempt to verify that the input file matches the requirements 
+for an ARC executable.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.
