10. HELP

After booting the system in windows, if the program is not

installed, install the program GSTAT-2004 on the hard disc in the
directory / folder named ‘gstat’. Execute the program at DOS prompt by
typing gstat04 (either case) and press 'Enter'. The main menu as shown
above appears on the screen. Select the relevant option; if there is a
sub menu then choose the required one.
Follow / Answer the instructions displayed on the screen.

Data input/output file name:

When you get the message on the screen ‘GIVE DATA FILE NAME’ - type
your data file name along with its source i.e. drive/folder name.
For example, if you have a data file named ST01.D1 on the hard disc
C in the directory / folder named DATA, then type C:\DATA\ST01.D1 and
press 'Enter' key. This will be followed by the message on the screen.
GIVE FILE/DEVICE NAME FOR OUTPUT. You can opt for any one of the
three devices used for output viz. console/screen, printer or file on a
particular disc / drive.
a) If the output is to be obtained on the screen type CON and press
'Enter' key. Note: If the output is of more than 23 lines, the
last 23 lines will be displayed on the screen and the rest would
be lost while screen will scroll.
b) If the output is to be obtained directly on the printer type PRN
and press 'Enter' key Note: Before typing PRN the printer should
be ready with paper properly in place.
c) If the output is to be written in a file on the hard disc or on a
floppy diskette or CD type a new file name along with its source
i.e. drive/folder name.

Rules for the data input file:

a) The FIRST line of each data set of input file for ANY Choice from
the main menu is IDENTIFICATION LINE i.e. set name / no.
b) Number of columns used per line for data input is not
restricted.
c) No characters other than digits (0 - 9) and special characters
plus (+), minus (-), period (.), comma (,), blank () are allowed
in the data file except in the identification line, i.e. first
line where all characters are allowed.
d) Any number of data sets of similar type can be punched in one
data file. Output of all the data sets can be obtained by
executing the program once if data is punched correctly according
to the format of the program used.
e) The values of the input parameters pertaining to whole numbers
must be non negative integers without decimal point e.g. in case
of RBD if there are fifteen treatments, the value of the
parameter NT (number of treatments) must be entered 15 and not
15. Or 15.00.
f) Parameters of the data set: Values of the parameters are to be supplied
in second line or third line of the data set in the given order with at
least one blank among them.
g) Store the data file in NOTEPAD with file name of 8 characters and
extension of max 3 characters (optional). If you did not add extension
name ‘notepad’ will ‘txt’ as the extension. eg. normal.dat or normal.txt
