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