56: <h2><font color="#EC5E5E"><strong>Installation</strong></font></h2>
57:
58: <p>Since the program produces many output files, we suggest to
59: have a separate directory for imach. A classical installation for Windows is on Program Files\imach <br>
60: </p>
61:
62: <ul>
63: <li>Download latest <font size="2" face="Courier New"><strong>imach-0.97b.exe</strong></font>
64: and execute it .</li>
65: <li>Different sub-directories are created:
66: <ul>
67: <li>doc: most of the documentation. The main document
68: is <a href="doc/imach.htm">doc/imach.htm</a> .</li>
69: <ul> Here are also two data files:<font size="4"
70: face="Times New Roman"> </font><ul>
71: <li><font face="Courier New">data1.txt</font>
72: which is the main data file on which the
73: program has been run as the example in
74: the main documentation.</li>
75: <li><font face="Courier New">mydata.txt </font>a
76: smaller data file which you can use for
77: your own trial.</li>
78: </ul>
79: <li>bin: <ul>
80: <li><font face="Courier">imach.exe</font> the
81: executable for Windows 95/98/NT compiled
82: with gcc from cygwin.</li>

84: href="#gp37mgw">next</a> </li>

92: <li><a name="gp37mgw">gp37mgw</a>: This is the
93: directory of the gnuplot software. Gnuplot for

113: software product, i.e. program and software can be distributed freely

122: <p>Today we are two developpers only but we already use a private CVS
