121 <h5 class="heading1">Why Perl? </h5>
122 </div>
123 <p align="justify"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.perl.org/">Perl</a> is a free,
124 multi-platform scripting language that was originally designed for handling text files.
125 Since NONMEM is used on many different computer platforms and uses text files for all its
126 input and output, perl is the ideal language for the kind of programs outlined above.</p>
127 <div align="justify">
128 <h5 class="heading1">Where can I find documentation for the command line tools? </h5>
129 </div>
130 <p>From the command line use the <tt>'-h'</tt> option to get a list of valid options.
131 A more detailed documentation can be reached using the '-help' option or in the on-line
132 <a href="user_docs.php">user documentation</a>.</p>
133 <div align="justify">
134 <h5 class="heading1">Can I run all command line tools on multiple model files? </h5>
135 </div>
136 <p>No. To date only the '<tt>execute</tt>' tool can handle multiple model files</p>
137 <div align="justify">
138 <h5 class="heading1">Can I resume a NONMEM run that has not finished? </h5>
139 </div>
140 <p>If you have specified an MSFO file (see NONMEM's documentation) you can restart the run manually using the MSFO file as MSFI. PsN has no functionality for automatically resuming stopped NONMEM runs.</p>
141 <div align="justify">
142 <h5 class="heading1">What are all these modelfit_dirXY and mZ about? </h5>
143 </div>
144 <p>PsN needs to create quite a few files to keep track of its execution and enable resuming. During the execution the tools also create many NONMEM model, data and output files. In order to keep things manageble we have decided to order all files in a generic directory structure. Consult the <a
145 href="directory_docs.php"> PsN Directory Guide</a> for more detailed information. </p>
