To use, simply launch a terminal window and type "macexpa.out (input file)" at the prompt. Before using the first time, the program might need to be converted into an executable by typing "chmod u+x macexpa.out" at the prompt. The program will generate the output in the "Paths.txt" file, as with the original code.
