Running the Hamming Code Program

I have written a program that will allow you to calculate a Hamming codeword using single-bit error correction with even-parity check bits. Run my CGI Hamming Program. This should work from any browser, including a text based browser like lynx.

It is also possible to run the program the old-fashioned way: log onto SOLIX! When you log onto SOLIX, change to the directory

        ~downeyt/public_html/cop2400

and from there run the hamming program by typing

        hamming_code

from the prompt.
