54: <h2><font color="#EC5E5E"><strong>Installation</strong></font></h2>
55:
56: <p>Since the program produces many output files, we suggest to
57: have a separate directory for imach. <br>
58: </p>
59:
60: <ul>
61: <li>Uncompress the zip file <font size="2" face="Courier New"><strong>imach.zip</strong></font>
62: into an empty directory, <font face="Courier New">imach, </font>for
63: example<font face="Courier New">.</font></li>
64: <li>Different sub-directories are created:<ul>
65: <li>doc: most of the documentation. The main document
66: is <a href="doc/imach.htm">doc/imach.htm</a> .</li>
67: <li>bin: <ul>
68: <li><font face="Courier">imach.exe</font> the
69: executable for Windows 95/98/NT compiled
70: with gcc from cygwin.</li>
71: <li>graph.gp: an output file which is used by
72: the grapher, gnuplot, described <a
73: href="#gp37mgw">next</a>: </li>
74: </ul>
75: </li>
76: <li>data: Here are two data files:<font size="4"
77: face="Times New Roman"> </font><ul>
78: <li><font face="Courier New">data1.txt</font>
79: which is the main data file on which the
80: program has been run as the example in
81: the main documentation.</li>
82: <li><font face="Courier New">mydata.txt </font>a
83: smaller data file which you can use for
84: your own trial.</li>
85: </ul>
86: </li>
87: <li>mytry: A sub-directory to try your self. The
88: imach program outputs its results as <em>text
89: files </em>(tables) but also <em>images</em>
90: (actually in gif format) which are obtained in a
91: second step by running gnuplot (see below) on a
92: gnuplot command file named 'graph.gp' but also a
93: single html file 'index.htm' which can be clicked
94: to summarize your run.</li>
95: <li>src: This subdirectory contains the source of the
96: program. It can be obtained by asking us by mail <a
97: href="mailto:brouard@ined.fr">mailto:brouard@ined.fr</a>

99: .</li>
100: <li><a name="gp37mgw">gp37mgw</a>: This is the
101: directory of the gnuplot software. Gnuplot for
102: Unix or Windows 95/98/NT can be accessed freely
103: with its reference manual from <a

105: The latest version, recently ported to windows,
106: has been included in imach.zip.</li>
107: </ul>
108: </li>
109: <li>Click on the imach.exe icon to open a window and run the
110: program.</li>
111: <li>Read the file README.txt or, better, click on <a
