RT2MS
Your Question:
I would like to use rt2ms to go from reftek to ascii, but am having trouble running it in Terminal on MAC.
After using the following commands- cd /opt/passcal/bin
followed by- ./rt2ms
I am getting the error- PASSCAL environment not set! Can not continue
I am new to MAC so any help appreciated? Also, once I get this error solved, how exactly does rt2ms work to go from reftek to ascii and what command is used on Terminal?

Do this after installing the PASSCAL software package:
You must set an environment variable PASSCAL and path
by editing either ~/.cshrc or ~/.bashrc. To check if you need to
edit .cshrc or .bashrc, run the following command:
ps -p $$.
If the CMD is listed as tcsh or csh, edit the .cshrc file. If the CMD is listed
as bash, edit the .bashrc file.
.cshrc example:
setenv PASSCAL /opt/passcal
setenv PASSOFT ${PASSCAL}
source ${PASSCAL}/setup/setup.csh
.bashrc example:
export PASSCAL=/opt/passcal
export PASSOFT=${PASSCAL}
source ${PASSCAL}/setup/setup.sh
Be sure to logout and log back in!
Do some simple tests:
% which picpython
This should return:
/opt/passcal/other/bin/picpython
% lopt
This should display a simple digital clock.
