A. Examples for compiling an SFDL program:
------------------------------------------

1. run_bobPF -c progs/Billionaires.txt

(-c for compile,
 progs/Billionaires.txt - SFDL program to compile)

The command produces two output files for Bob:
1. progs/Billionaires.txt.shdlPF.Bob.Opt.circuit (an SHDL circuit)
2. progs/Billionaires.txt.shdlPF.Bob.Opt.fmt

And one output file for Alice:
3. progs/Billionaires.txt.shdlPF.Alice.Opt.fmt (format description)


B. Example for running BobPF (should be first):
---------------------------------------------
run_bobPF -r progs/Billionaires.txt S&b~n2#m8_Q 4

(-r for run,
 progs/Billionaires.txt - program to run,
 3rd parameter - crazy string for random seed,
 4th parameter - OT type [1-4], 4 is the best one,
 5th parameter (optional) - UC type, best if omitted)


C. Example for running AlicePF (should be second):
------------------------------------------------

run_alicePF -r progs/Billionaires.txt 5miQ^0s1 humus.cs.huji.ac.il

(-r for run,
 progs/Billionaires.txt - program to run,
 3rd parameter - crazy string for random seed,
 4th parameter - hostname where Bob is,
 5th parameter (optional) - UC type, use same as Bob or omit for best)


D. Some general comments:
-------------------------

1. As with regular programs - first compile, then run.
2. BobPF & AlicePF use fixed port (no. 3496) for TCP/IP communication.
