mcvert comes in source form and runs on a wide variety of UNIX machines, each with its own binary format and execution environment for programs. Therefore, mcvert needs to be compiled for your machine before you can run it. Here's how to do it. o Ready a directory to hold mcvert cd mkdir mcvert cp mcvert-nnn.shar mcvert cd mcvert o Create the individual files from the Shell Archive (shar) file sh mcvert-nnn.shar o Reorder the Makefile as appropriate for your machine Note that there are a number of variables with which to fiddle, and that the last definition wins. For example, when compiling for AT&T's 3B2, reorder so these lines are last within each group: XOBJ= gettod.o LIBS= CFLAGS_M= -DTIMEVAL -DULONG CFLAGS_N = -DNOBYTEORDER -DNOBZEROBCOPY o Make the binary and the man page make o Read the man page for a full description more mcvert.man o Invoke the binary without arguments for a short description mcvert []
