   3     The execute utility is a Perl script that allows you to run multiple
   4     modelfiles either sequentially or in parallel. It is more or less an
   5     nmfe replacement.
   6     <br><br>
   7     The execute utility creates subdirectories where it puts NONMEMs
   8     input and output files, to make sure that parallel NONMEM runs do not
   9     interfere with each other. The top directory is by default named
  10     'modelfit_dirX' where 'X' is a number that starts at 0 and is
  11     increased by one each time you run the execute utility.
  12     <br><br>
  13     When the NONMEM runs are finished, the output and table files will be
  14     copied to the directory where execute started in which means that you
  15     can normaly ignore the 'modelfit_dirX' directory. If you need to
  16     access any special files you can find them inside the
  17     'modelfit_dirX'. Inside the 'modelfit_dirX' you find a few
  18     subdirectories named 'NM_runY'. For each model file you
  19     specified on the command line there will be one 'NM_runY' directory in
  20     which the actual NONMEM execution takes place. The order of the
  21     'NM_runY' directories corresponds to the order of the modelfiles given
  22     on the command line. The first run will take place inside 'NM_run1',
  23     the second in 'NM_run2' and so on.
