	A bit of an apology here. 

	Here is the situation. I went to
http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/ftp/pub/multimedia/mpeg/encode/ 
	and download the linux tar.gz extract and I get 'cannot execute binary
file'. No source, only an executable and a man page. The modes are +x.
So I'm dead in the water. 

	The core dump is not what I should have mentioned because I don't
remember precisely what I did after getting the source from the above.
It will not compile as found. But I don't remember at all what I did to
get it to compile which obviates my who comment on core dump. 

	The problem with compiling is in libpnmrw.c at line 364 warning item
might be uninitialized. I got around that somehow -- obviously the wrong
way. 

	Whatever I did, it executes the .param file then dumps. So I was making
some progress. 

	So to go back to the basics, I can't even get the linux binary to
execute much less consider the .param file.
