# Modules

Abstract

The idea behind the modules option is that you can supply your own programs which can then be run from the Simfit program manager.

Details

You are strongly recommended to use the configuration option to supply the full pathname for the following important modules.

1. A chosen text editor.
   This is necessary because you may want to quickly edit a data file, or .eps file, or possibly create your own model file for fitting and simulation.
   For many purposes Windows Notepad is quite sufficient.
2. A chosen disk explorer.
   This is necessary so you can easily shell out from the Simfit program manager.
   For many purposes Windows Explorer is quite sufficient.
3. A pdf viewer.
   This is necessary to read w_manual.pdf, the Simfit reference manual.
   The Adobe Acrobat reader is the usual choice.
4. Ghostscript.
   This is necessary to view PostScript files, transform them into graphics files and drive non-PostScript printers.
5. A front-end to Ghostscript.
   The GSview utility is highly recommended to simplify viewing .eps files and driving non-Postscript printers.
   GSview must be downloaded and configured separately before you call it for the first time from Simfit.

You can also specify the names and descriptions of any other modules you wish to use, e.g. for pharmacokinetics, biostatistics, image analysis, etc.
