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.
