The main document is <a href="doc/imach.htm">doc/imach.htm</a> .</li> <li>bin: <ul> <li>imach.exe the executable for Windows 95/98/NT compiled with gcc from cygwin.</li> <li>graph.gp: an output file which is used by the grapher, gnuplot, described <a href="#gp37mgw">next</a>: </li> </ul> </li> <li>data: Here are two data files: <ul> <li>data1.txt which is the main data file on which the program has been run as the example in the main documentation.</li> <li>mydata.txt a smaller data file which you can use for your own trial.</li> </ul> </li> <li>mytry: A sub-directory to try your self. The imach program outputs its results as text files (tables) but also images (actually in gif format) which are obtained in a second step by running gnuplot (see below) on a gnuplot command file named 'graph.gp' but also a single html file 'index.htm' which can be clicked to summarize your run.</li> <li>src: This subdirectory contains the source of the program. It can be obtained by asking us by mail <a href="mailto:brouard@ined.fr">mailto:brouard@ined.fr</a> and <a href="mailto:lievre@ined.fr">mailto:lievre@ined.fr</a> .</li> <li><a name="gp37mgw">gp37mgw</a>: This is the directory of the gnuplot software.
