MOSES Home Page
Dear MOSES users,
The Windows version of MOSES is now ready to distribute. It is here:
http://abci.kek.jp/MOSES4W.zip
Inside, there are five folders and their names tell you what they are.
In the "MOSES applications for Windows" folder, you will find the
Windows
stand-alone executable, MOSES4W.exe. You can find the parameter list in the
ReadMe
file in the same folder. You can place the application program anywhere.
You can also
place the input file folder anywhere, not necessary in the same folder as
MOSES4W
executable modules. No installation of the program is necessary.
The recommended use may be as follows:
1. Place the MOSES4W application
folder in the Program Files folder.
2. Then, create the short-cut of the MOSES4W executable module on the
desktop.
3. Place the input file folder anywhere.
4. To run MOSES4W, you just drag and drop the input file (such as
sample1.dat) on top
of the MOSES4W short-cut, and then the DOS window appears, saying that
MOSES is now running.
5. When the computation ends, you will find the output files in the same
folder as the input file.
Very simple, is it not? You
should better assign Notepad or Wordpad programs to open these files.
The alternative way is to double click the MOSES4W application, and the DOS
window appears,
asking the name of the input file. If the input file is located in the same
folder as the MOSES4W
executable module, you just type its
name such as sample1.dat. If not, you have to give the full path-name
(for example, C:¥Input_files¥sample1.dat). The recommended way looks more
convenient to me.
I enclose the TopDrawer program for Windows. You just drag and drop a
TopDrawer file on it,
and then all figures pop up. If you want to convert them to postscript
files, just right click the figure
and choose PostScript option. You should better install Ghostscript and
Ghostview programs from here
to view and print postscript files:

If you need to compile the MOSES4W source code using the Compaq Visual
Fortran, you need to add
/fpscomp:filesfromcmd option in the compiler so that the command-line DOS
window appear to ask
you the input file name at run time.
The MOSES4W source code for Windows is a stand-alone version,
and there is no need to link with other subroutines.
The Windows version of MOSES is very fast, and together with TopDrawer for
Windows, you can
do all necessary jobs only on Windows.
This information and the MOSES programs are free to distribute. If you find
someone who want use it,
just tell him the above URL to download the package.
If he needs more general MOSES, for example, for UNIX, use this URL:
http://abci.kek.jp/MOSES_f.zip
The MOSES_f folder contains all MOSES information.
The complete manual for MOSES version 4.0 will come out sometime soon.
