Installation on MS-DOS Systems

The MS-DOS distribution of GRTOOL contains the following files:

File: Description:
GRMACRO.MAC *EMME/2 macro used to produce link data file
GRLINK.BAT *Batch file for transforming link-to-grid conversion
GRPARAM.BAT *Batch file for creating a graphic parameter file
GRANNOT.BAT *Batch file for creating an annotation from a grid file
GRLINKA.EXE *Binary program called by GRLINK.BAT
GRPARAMA.EXE *Binary program called by GRPARAM.BAT
GRANNOTA.EXE *Binary program called by GRANNOT.BAT
GSORT.EXE * GNU sort utility, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence, used by GRLINK.
GAWK.EXE GNU AWK interpreter, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence
GRLINKA.AWK AWK source code of GRLINKA.EXE
GRPARAMA.AWK AWK source code of GRPARAMA.EXE
GRANNOTA.AWK AWK source code of GRANNOTA.EXE
README Text file with last minute informations which may not be contained in the printed documentation

To install GRTOOL, create a new directory \GRTOOL and copy all files marked with * in the above list into it. Add this new directory to the PATH= statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Copy the macro file GRMACRO.MAC into the EMME/2 application directory or into one of the directories that appear in your E2MACROS variable, or, alternately, append the term ``;\GRTOOL\?.MAC'' to your E2MACROS variable.

The GRTOOL programs check the path directories to find the location of the GRTOOL program files. Due to limitations of the DOS batch programming language, this auto detection might fail for very long settings of the PATH variable. In this case, it is possible to add a statement of the form ``GRTOOL=C:\GRTOOL'' to AUTOEXEC.BAT, to indicate explicitly the location of the GRTOOL files, thereby disactivating the autodetection feature.

The AWK source code files are not needed to run the GRTOOL programs. They are provided for your information. Note that if the compiled binaries of these AWK programs are not found, the GRTOOL programs will call the GAKW interpreter with the corresponding source files instead.
