   <h3> Current versions August 2014 </h3>
 <p>Since the program produces many output files, we suggest to  <ul>
 have a separate directory for imach. A classical installation for Windows is on Program Files\imach <br>  <li>On Windows (win9X, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8): 0.98nV</li>
 </p>  <li>On MacOS/X Leopard: 0.98nV</li>

     <li>Different sub-directories are created:  Gnuplot has evolved since version IMaCh 0.98k and therefore you need
           <ul>  at least Gnuplot 4.6. Otherwise you need to adapt the .gp file

                 is <a href="doc/imach.htm">doc/imach.htm</a> .</li>  
                 <ul> Here are also two data files:<font size="4"  With the installer provided for OS/X and Windows, a recent gnuplot

   <p><a href="oldversions.html">Old Windows versions are accessible here.</a>
   <h3>On Mac OS/X Leopard  (August 2014)</h3>
   
   IMaCh can be easily compiled with gcc 3.3 on MacIntosh as soon as
   XCode (free download from Apple) is intalled on your MaCIntosh.<p>
   
   It take a litle more time to get version of Gnuplot 4.6.5+ for Mac OS/X
   and to compile it on a MaC.  Currently graphs are output as png
   files. We will probably moved to svg because the svg format is
   scalable and thus figures are easier to improve and insert in other documents.
   
   
   <p>
   You can download a dmg file
           at <a href="imach0.98nV.dmg">imach0.98nV.dmg</a> (md5sum
           e2256e6bd4e6f944f17b6be366ce375c). Like on Windows, two
           sub-directories are created
         <tt>bin</tt> and <tt>html</tt> . In the bin subdirectory you
         will find two executables <tt>imach</tt> itself and
         <tt>gnuplot</tt>. 
   
   <p>
   You need to click on <tt>imach</tt> application and IMaCh will be
   launched in a Terminal window, asking you to enter
   a <tt>parameter</tt> file. A parameter file is a text file with an
   extension <tt>.imach</tt> (but you can use a <tt>.txt</tt> extension
   if you want.  Among the parameters required, a data file name has to
   be entered. It can be a relative file name
   like <tt>../../data/data1.txt</tt>. <br> If you open a new finder you
   can drag an IMaCh parameter file into the terminal IMaCh Window that
   you just created.
   <p>
   At the end of the run, and it order for the terminal window not to
   disappear, the program will prompt for a command like "<tt>e</tt>" for
   edit (with your browser) or "<tt>q</tt>" for quit.
   
   <br> The consequence for you is just that you have to use your finder
         or browser (there is no more difference now) and click on the
         <tt>.html</tt> (or .htm) file created. The filename of this html
         file has the same name as your parameter file, only the extension
         .imach is changed to .html.
   
   <h3>On Linux</h3> There are various versions of Linux, gnuplot is
   distributed on most distributions. Just verify that your version of
   gnuplot is more recent than version 4.6 . I haven't had time to make
   a rpm yet, just ask us for the CVS tree location (not completely GPL
   today), and compile the sources. Remarks concerning the Linux versions
   are similar to the Mac OS/X version.

   <h2>IMaCh Wiki</h2>
   As discussed at the REVES meeting in <a href="http://www.prw.le.ac.uk/cgi-bin/reves/2005.cgi">Beijing</a>, we created a Wiki for IMaCh were people having used IMaCh (or having not been able to use it because of obscure or unadequate features) can add tips and discuss various aspects of IMaCh and interface with other statistical softwares. In many aspects, our "official documentation" is not accurate enough.
   
   <p> Wikis are a very promising way to give information closer to your expectations. It also a very dynamic movement if you consider the first <a href="http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page">International Wikimedia Conference in Francfurt</a> (August 2005), where most Wikis were represented and in particular <a href="http://wikipedia.org">Wikipedia</a>.
