The files in utils/ are utilities for the Ncohafmuta talker code addstruct appends new structures to the end of users data files. It does this for every user in the user directory, so if you add structures to the ustr[user]. profile, you don't have to manually go into every user file and append a bogus string or number so the talker can read it into the ustr[user]. buffer that it's set up for. To compile these programs, type "make" in the utils directory no_make_compile is a shell script for compiling the talker on systems without the "make" command. This gets run from the TOP code directory, not from in here. see README.backups for info on the backup, restore, and trimbackups utilities -Cygnus Anthony J. Biacco ncohafmuta@asteroid-b612.org
