.topic File=2
 File menu 
  
The file menu gives you the following options:
 {New}       : Clear all Chemicals from Memory;
 {Load File:Load} : Load a *.CHR file from disk;
 {Save File:Save} : Save a *.CHR file to disk;
and
 {Exit}      : Quits the program.

You can acces these options directly by pressing the key mentioned behind
the option at any moment in the program. In no key is mentioned you will have
to use the menu.

.topic New
 New 
  
This option clears all the chemicals in the memory (NOT from disk!). This
option does not effect the {Standard Figures:Stdbox}.
To prevent accidents the computer asks you to confirm this. Answer Yes and
the chemicals will be cleared. Answer No or Cancel and the clearing will be
aborted.

.topic Load
 Load file 
  
Loads a .CHR file from disk. The {Chemical List Box:ChemBox} and the
{Edit Chemicals Box:EditChem} will be updated automaticly. The
{Standard Figures:Stdbox} will not be affected by loading a file.
It is possible loading an other file then a .CHR file.

WARNINGS:
 - The old Chemicals which were in the program before the Load command
will be cleared.
 - If the .CHR file is invalid or belongs to an other program this will cause
a lot of nonsense to be read from the file.

.topic Save
 Save file 
  
Saves a .CHR file to disk. The {Standard Figures:stdbox} will NOT be included
in this file. It is possible to give the file another extention besides .CHR
but this makes loading this file more difficult. 

.topic Exit
 Exit 
  
This option terminates the program and throws away all data currently in 
the memory (including the {Standard figures:stdBox}). Make sure you have 
saved all data before using Exit.

For safety the program asks you: "Are You Sure?". The answers "No" and 
"Cancel" will make the program continue.
To avoid this question you can press ALT-Q (Quik-Exit).

.topic Standards
 Standards 
  
This menu is dedicated to the {Standard Figures Box:stdbox}. It contains two
options:
 {Load old Values:Loadstd} : Save the Standard Figures to STANDARD.DAT.
 {Save new Values:Savestd} : Load the Standard Figures from STANDARD.DAT.

These options correspond to the two buttons in the "Standard Figures Box".

.topic Loadstd
 Load Old Values (Standard Figures Box) 
  
This option first asks you to conferm. If you press Yes the current 
{Standard Figures:stdbox} will be replaced by the new Values read from 
STANDARD.DAT. These are the values of the last {Save new Values:Savestd}
operation.

NOTE:
The program reads STANDARD.DAT automaticly at startup. If this file is not
found an error is prompted.

.topic Savestd
 Save new Values (Standard Figures Box) 
  
After you pressed Yes to conferm, this option will save the {Standard Figures:stdbox}
to the file STANDARD.DAT. These can later be reloaded by the option 
{Load Old Values:Loadstd}.

.topic Chromatogram
 Chromatogram 
  
This menu is dedicated to the output of the program. Whether that are numbers
of graphs. It contains the folowing options:                
 {View Chromatogram:ViewChrom} : Make a graphical plot of the chromatogram.
 {View Pieks:ViewPieks}        : Show the nummerical data on every piek.
 {View Resolution f.:ViewRes}: Show the Resoluion factors between two ajecent Pieks.
 {Save Results:SaveRes}      : Save the nummerical data to disk.

.topic ViewChrom,ChrInst
 View Chromatogram 
  
This option first opens a box where you must give the the boundries of the
chromatogram. The computer makes an estimate of these boundries, but he is 
mostely wrong. Change these values to your liking. If you got them wrong, 
don't worry, press F4 and you'll notice that your changes have been 
(temporarely) saved.

N.B.: In this box ENTER means accepting the values in this box and NOT going 
to the next value. Use the TAB key instead.

If you press ENTER or the button "Chromatogram" the screen will be cleared 
and a Chromatogram will be drawn. This may take several seconds. When it's
completed any key returnes to the program.

If an error occurs check if the file EGAVGA.BGI is in the current directory.
If it is, this may mean that your screen does not support a VGA screen.

.topic ViewPieks  
 View Pieks 
  
This option opens a box that shows you some information about every piek. The
pieks are sorted on retention time. On the bottom there are three buttons:

                             press this button to see the other pieks.
 {View Resolution f.:ViewRes}        - Jump to the resolution factors box.
 Cancel                    - Close this box. 

.topic ViewRes
 View Resolution Factors 
  
This option opens a box that shows you the resolution factors between two 
adjecent pieks. The pieks are sorted on retention times. On the bottom there

 Cancel      - Close this box.

.topic SaveRes
 Save Results 
  
This option allows you to Save all nummeric information to a file. You may
choose any filename you want.

The file will be filled with the information from the {View Pieks Box:ViewPieks}
and the {View Resolution Factors Box:ViewRes}. The file will be in 
ASCII-format so that many programs will except the file.

.topic Chembox 
 Chemical List Box 
  
This box handles the socalled List of Chemicals. This list is in fact just
a row of numbres. You can select any Chemical and Edit it in the
{Edit Chemicals Box:EditChem}. For programtecnical reasons this could not be
done in the Chemical list box.

.topic EditChem
 Edit Chemicals Box 
  
In this box you can edit the Chemicals owned bij the {Chemical List Box:ChemBox}.
Both ENTER and TAB move to the next input field. 
The Edit Chemicals Box owns the following input fields:
 Name     - Give the Chemical a name (Standard is: Chemical nr.XX)
 Quantity - How many mols(!) of this chemical is injected.

.topic StdBox
 Standard Figures Box 
  
This box specifies what the column is like. Jou can enter the following 
numbres: 
 Length of colomn - How long is the used kolomn? 
 Debiet of column - How much volume passes throug the kolomn per second?
 Speed of flow    - How much is the linear flow in the kolomn?
 Number of Plates - What is the platenumber of this colomn with the used 
                    Chemicals?
 Ratio Stationary/Mobile Phase - What is the Ratio that is derived when
                    you divide the volume of the stationary phase through
                    the volume of the mobile phase.
                         
There are also two buttons in this box:
 {Load old:LoadStd} - Load the Standard Figures from STANDARD.DAT.
 {Save new:Savestd} - Save the Standard Figures to STANDARD.DAT.

You can move through these input fiels by using TAB and ENTER. N.B.: ENTER 
also selects the two buttons.
