But with version 60: 0.97b IMaCh we are using a windows installer (Inno setup). Both 61: executables <tt>imach.exe</tt> and <tt>gnuplot.exe</tt> (the grapher 62: that we are using) have to be on the same directory. 63: 64: In order to facilitate the use of IMaCh we associated the .imach 65: extension to two features: editing and running. Thus by right clicking 66: on a foo.imach file you can either 'edit'the file (default) with 67: the notepad editor or 'run' it with gnuplot (you need a recent version). 68: 69: But we discovered that on some computers, people are not allowed 70: to modify the windows registry and need to have Administrator privileges. 71: 72: 73: Thus we built two windows installer: a standard setup which will install 74: the progam (usually in <tt>\Program Files\imach</tt> and will 75: modify the registry to associate <tt>.imach</tt> extension to notepad and imach, and a 76: second which will not alter the registry. With this second installer you 77: will be able to install the programs in your home directory and 78: run it by clicking on the imach.exe icon. But you won't be able 79: to use the facility of the right clicking. 80: 81: 82: <ul> 83: <li>Download latest imach-0.97b-setup.exe 84: and execute it .</li> 85: <li>Different sub-directories are created: 86: <ul> 87: <li>doc: most of the documentation. The main document 88: is <a href="doc/imach.htm">doc/imach.htm</a> .</li> 89: <ul> Here are also two data files: <ul> 91: <li>data1.txt 92: which is the main data file on which the 93: program has been run as the example in 94: the main documentation.</li> 95: <li>mydata.txt a 96: smaller data file which you can use for 97: your own trial.</li> 98: </ul> 99: </ul> 100: <li>bin: <ul> <li>imach.exe 101: the executable for Windows 95/98/NT compiled with gcc from 102: cygwin.</li> <li> gnuplot, the grapher use by IMaCh.
