I finally put g77 on my desktop and used the wfninst g77 wfn command to unzip and compile the wfn, g770nm, and nmv files. I defaulted to the nmv sudirectories (std, 50t, 57t, s7t, src511). What are these separate subdirectories used for? Also, CrossGraphs has been sold to PPD, and is US$3,000/seat. Do you (or others) know of any useful alternatives to viewing NONMEM output in addition to Mats' XPOSE/SPlus combination? Many thanks. Paul nmusers: my apologies for the listserve posting if you are not using wfn, but I thought that it was of general enough relevance to post here. PRH Paul Hutson, Pharm.D.

They are used to store different compiled versions of NONMEM. This lets you choose between a version which allows more obs/subject (e.g. 50t) by calling wfn e.g. wfn g77 50t Please look at http://wfn.sourceforge.net/wfnnmver.htm for details. I am aware that CG is no longer available for any practical use because of the pricing. Like Steve Duffull I am exploring alternatives. I am hoping to release an addition to WFN that will automate some common graphics for display in the free R package. If you can want to get hold of and install R then let me know and you can be a guinea pig to test this out :-) Best wishes, Nick -- Nick Holford, Dept Pharmacology & Clinical Pharmacology University of Auckland, 85 Park Rd, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand email:n.holford@auckland.ac.nz tel:+64(9)373-7599x86730 fax:373-7556 http://www.health.auckland.ac.nz/pharmacology/staff/nholford/ _______________________________________________________
