The file "ecdl" is a binary executable for Alpha Linux.

It was compiled using gcc 2.95 on RedHat 5 with:

  gcc ecdl2-97.c -O2 -freg-struct-return -static -o ecdl
  strip ecdl

and tested on RedHat 4, 5 and 6.  It is quite big at 157 K but there
is a compressed 67 K version in "ecdl.gz".  It runs at 343 k
iterations per second on a 500 MHz Alpha EV56.

Download, gunzip if necessary, do "chmod u+x ecdl" and run with
arguments like this:

  ecdl <mode> <user> <team> <machine> <hardware> <OS> { <comment> } 

  <mode>:     Either test, mail, alt or batch.
  <user>:     Something to identify you by e.g., your email address.
  <team>:     Name of the team you are on  e.g., one you just made up!
  <machine>:  The machine name.
  <hardware>: The machine hardware type    e.g, '500 MHz Alpha EV56'.
  <OS>:       The OS name                  e.g., Linux.
  <comment>:  Optional extra text.
