File formats

In this chapter we explain in detail the nature of the files associated with the MCF system. We start with the input files `mcfgen.input' and `library' for mcfgen, and we then describe its output file `mcf.asc'. Finally, we give the format of the binary output `mcf.bin' of the code mcfbin.
