Main Program

  The main program is started by writing MAIN & at the UNIX command prompt. The window shown in Figure gif will then be opened. Now, by selecting ``RGEN'', the menu for RGEN is displayed, see Section gif. Similarly, selecting ``RCLASS'' will start the user interface for RCLASS, see Section gif.

Normally, one will first create some rules with RGEN and then test them with several different options in RCLASS. It is then possible to start RGEN again and generate new rules with for instance another threshold value (explained in Section gif).

The bottom row in the main window, Figure gif contains three buttons. Selecting ``Quit'' will exit from the application. ``Help'' will show the window in Figure gif explaining the program and ``About'' will give some information about the project.

Whenever an error occurs in the program execution, the user will get a message saying what went wrong. This could be that a needed file does not exist or similar. A typical error message for the main program, RGEN and RCLASS is shown in Figure gif.
