Steps to install FameST 1)Make a directory Famest, and copy all the files of Famest117.zip in that directory, If you work with FAME in the directory C:\TRABAJO\FAMWORK, you FAMEST directory should be C:\TRABAJO\FAMWORK\FAMEST 2)To use Famest you have to configure the next enviroment variables: FAMEST_DIR=C:\TRABAJO\FAMWORK\FAMEST that is FAMEST_DIR point to where FAMEST is installed, among other files in that directory there must be "stf.pc". FAMEST=C:\TRABAJO\famwork\famest_OUTPUT That is your local output directory of FAMEST PATH=%PATH%;%FAMEST_DIR% FAME_PATH=%FAME_PATH%;%FAMEST_DIR% Examples: HOW TO USE THE EXAMPLES. Suppose that the working directory of FAME is c:\TRABAJO\famwork, that is the directory where you read and write by default from FAME. To have examples in c:\TRABAJO\famwork you should unzip INPUT.zip to create the directory INPUT behind famwork and unzip DB.zip to create DB directory also behind famwork, and unzip LOOP.zip to create LOOP directory containing examples of how run FAMEST inside a LOOP. in Fame you run the examples with: inp "INPUT\examplexx.inp" where xx is a number of example. The examples use local Databases files (*.DB) that are in DB.zip, but you can change the examples to use your Databases. The vast mayority of the examples use the serie "ser0", you can use the series that you use in your work instead of the samples series. The name of terror examples are "terror.inp" and "terror1.inp" HOW TO RUN FAMEST INSIDE A LOOP? The examples of how to run FAMEST in a loop are in the directory LOOP, for instance "loop\loop16.inp" execute several series, one by one in a LOOP FOR, see "loop\loop16.txt" for documentation. inp "loop\loop16.inp" How to know where is your working directory in FAME: Try to run in FAME : output "output_proof.txt";output terminal the directory where that the file "output_proof.txt" is written is your Fame working directory. To see more details read the documentation that is in FAMEST\DOC. If you have any problem you can mail me at Domingo.Perez@bde.es
