- I have an executable file on a SUN computer and I want to use
- atom to convert it to an executable on my NeXT. I have tried
- to use:
-
- >atom a.out machfile
-
- and then execute the machfile:
-
- >machfile
- Segmentation fault
-
- I thought I didn't know what I was doing so I made a short
- c program ('hello world'), compiled it on the SUN
- and tried to convert it:
-
- > atom a.out machfile2
- > machfile2
- Bus error
-
- I have studied the atom man page, but I don't have a clue. Could
- some kind person show me the light? Maybe I don't know what
- atom is supposed to do. I thought it could convert executables.
