This is done by first converting the communicating LTSs into the .fc2 format. These files are temporary files, as they are only needed during the conversion. Therefore, they are stored in the $CADP_TMP directory, or in /tmp if $CADP_TMP is not defined.
Then, these files are linked together (using the fc2link tool of the Fc2Tools toolset) according to the synchronization patterns specified in spec.exp. This produces a parallel .fc2 file stored in result.fc2
Version 1.* of exp2fc2 was a binary program developed by David Jacquemin, Hubert Garavel and Mark Jorgensen (INRIA Rhone-Alpes).
Version 2.* of exp2fc2 (released in August 2004) is a simple script-shell that makes use of the conversion features provided by exp.open version 2.
Directives for installation are given in file $CADP/INSTALLATION.
Recent changes and improvements to this software are reported and commented in file $CADP/HISTORY.
