Ok -- here's the deal. I had a small error in my codes, which meant that you had to be in the proper directory to call my examples. This is fixed. Here is how you use them: You must be logged into kenner. You cannot copy the programs because I must own them with the setuid bit set. However, you can make a soft link to a program, as long as it retains the same name (i.e. you cannot rename "primwc" to something else -- it must be "primwc). Or you can make a soft link to the directory as above. Then run the program like a regular executable. For example, to run primwc, you can do it in the following ways: kenner: /lymon/homes/cs494/labs/Cat/programs/primwc /usr/dict/words /usr/dict/words 25143 kenner: ln -s /lymon/homes/cs494/labs/Cat/programs/primwc . kenner: primwc /usr/dict/words /usr/dict/words 25143 kenner: ln -s /lymon/homes/cs494/labs/Cat/programs/primwc mypwc # this won't work kenner: mypwc /usr/dict/words kenner: ln -s /lymon/homes/cs494/labs/Cat/programs Examples # this works kenner: Examples/primwc /usr/dict/words /usr/dict/words 25143 kenner: I hope this helps.
