2. INSTALLATION
- Create a directory named, for example, cyberiad
- Copy the zipped file to that directory
- Unzip the file making sure to expand subdirectories.
- The executable file is mlt807w.exe.
- To exit from any screen, press Esc.
- Press ? for help when the Lines Drawing screen is displayed.
- When you run Michlet for the first time, it will load in the details of
a small monohull from the input file named in.mlt. Example input
files are discussed in other chapters in this manual.
File List
The following files and directories should be contained in the
zipped file.
- mlt807w.exe : the executable file for the graphic version.
- michlet.bat : batch file that runs the executable.
- godzilla.bat : batch file that runs the executable in GODZILLA mode.
- alleg40.dll : Allegro graphics dll.
- libstdc++.dll : C++ dll.
- in.mlt : the main input file.
- docs : directory containing HTML documentation.
- examples : directory with examples and templates.
- godzilla : directory with optimisation examples and templates.
Command Line Options
In this version, there are two ways to run Michlet.
- mlt807w
Runs the graphic version of Michlet.
- mlt807w -godz
Runs the graphic version in GODZILLA mode. (Note that there must be a space between
the 'w' and the '-').
You might find it convenient to set up Windows 'shortcuts' to run Michlet
in the different modes. For example, the small batch file
named michlet.bat contains the single line mlt807w.
Similarly, another batch file named godzilla.bat contains the line
mlt807w -godz and can be used to run Michlet in GODZILLA mode.
For your own projects you should modify these batch files to copy the
files Michlet requires before running the program, and to copy files to
a safe place on exit.
Removing Michlet
Michlet does not modify any system files so you can just delete the
directory into which you unzipped Michlet.
