	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.

Is your Sun executable for a Motorola (Sun 3) or Sparc (Sun 4) ?
I think atom only works for motorola programs.
