top version 3.4 compiled for NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP SPARC
by Tim Chong <chongt@computer.org>

WHAT'S TOP?

Top is a command line command that displays the top 15 processes on the 
system and periodically updates this information.  Raw cpu percentage is used
to rank the processes.

More info on top pls. see the man page [top(1), to access it type "man top"
at the unix prompt]

This version has been fully tested on my SUN SPARCstation 10/71  with 
OpenStep 4.2 patch 4 only, but I think it should work fine with NEXTSTEP 
3.3/RISC also.

HOW TO INSTALL

1. expand the .tar.gz file using Opener.app or OpenUp.app or via commandline:

   % gnutar xvfzp top-3.4.S.b.tar.gz 

2. become root and copy top binary to /usr/local/bin and top.l man page 
   to /usr/local/man/man1 

   commands:

   % su
   Password: 
   # cp top /usr/local/bin
   # cp top.l /usr/local/man/man1

3. check if the permission and ownership is correct for top
   
   % ls -ls /usr/local/bin/top

   it should read something like this

   -rwsr-xr-x   1 root     kmem       125544 Aug 25 12:08 /usr/local/bin/top

   if not become root (using su) and issue these commands

   # chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/top
   # chown root.kmem /usr/local/bin/top

SOURCE 

Sorry, I did this port in a rush before going for my vacation 3 weeks back, 
and I don't have any copy of the modified src. If time permits, I will try to
write a patch that will work will future top distribution.
