- Executables for NeXTStep machines are included in two subdirectories:
- 'intel' for NeXTStep systems based on Intel processors and 'm68k' for
- NeXT hardware based on the Motorola M680xx. Sorry for not just making
- a fat binary, but I didn't have access to a system with fat support.
-
- nsort and call assume that the database and index file are in the
- current directory. Of course, you can use a symbolic link to get
- around fixed placement of the data.
-
- Before using the call routine, the index file must be built and sorted
- using mknlist and nsort. Note that an index file (for name searches)
- produced by one architecture (intel or m68k) is probably not
- compatible with the executables for the other architecture because of
- the big endian/little endian problem.
-
- Here's one way to run the executables:
-
- 1. Make a directory on a read/write filesystem and copy the
- executables for your architecture to that directory.
- 2. Either copy callbook.db to the current directory or put
- a symbolic link to the copy of it on the CD-ROM from the current
- directory.
- 3. Run 'mknlist callbook.db'.
- 4. Run 'nsort'.
-
- The Intel versions were compiled under NeXTStep 3.2 and the Motorola
- versions were compiled under NeXTStep 3.0.
