CREATE_NEW_STORE_FILE

This file is hardware dependent and cannot be read by any text editor.

Create a binary file to be used as a work file (also called store file) before any optimization can be done. The workspace used by the GIBBS, POLY and PARROT modules is stored automatically on the work file but not any experimental information. The binary work file has a default extension of PAR under MS-Windows or par under Linux/UNIX.

A work file that is created at a previous run can be used in the PARROT module with the other command SET-STORE-FILE.

Syntax

CREATE_NEW_STORE_FILE

Prompt

<*.par file name>

A Save window displays. Enter a File name and specify the working directory in the Save in field. Normally the default file-type in the Files of type field is the correct one for the PARROT workspace format (i.e. PAR file). Click Save or Cancel as applicable.
