The files "ecdl-ev4","ecdl-ev5" and "ecdl-ev6" are binary executables
for Alpha EV4, EV5 and EV6 chips running Tru64 Unix, Digital Unix or OSF.

They were compiled with "-O5 -non_shared -tune ev[456]" using Compaq's
cc 5.7 and 6.0.  They are quite big at 256 K but there are compressed
95 K versions in "ecdl-ev4.gz","ecdl-ev5.gz" and "ecdl-ev6.gz".

For Alpha Linux use the gcc-compiled binary in binaries/Linux/Alpha/.

Download, gunzip if necessary, do "chmod u+x ecdl" and run with
