Installing the X-13-Graph Batch Windows Interface:

Users with older versions of Windows may need to install the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 to use the interface. If it is not found on your computer, you will be prompted to download and install it when you attempt to install the interface.

To install the program, first unzip the file x13gbi.zip to your C:\ drive. The program will not work if saved to a network drive. This zip folder contains two files, the program executable x13GraphBatch.exe and its configuration file, x13GraphBatch.exe.config, as well as a subdirectory appl containing the necessary data sets and catalogs for the X-13-Graph SAS program to run. To start the program, double click on x13GraphBatch.exe.

Installing the Batch Version of X-13-Graph:

Before you can use X-13-Graph, you must copy it to your computer:

1. Create a directory for the program; c:\x13graph is recommended, and will be used throughout this document.
2. Copy the file x13gbat.zip to the c:\x13graph directory.
3. Double Click on x13gbat.zip in Windows^® Explorer to uncompress the files.

X-13-Graph Batch consists of a SAS program, a subdirectory with two SAS files, and an images subdirectory, as well as this document. After uncompressing x13gbat.zip, the following files should be in the c:\x13graph directory:

x13gbat.sas
x13gbat.htm

The c:\x13graph\appl directory should contain the following files:

Namelist.sas7bdat
Templt.sas7bcat

There should also be a directory c:\x13graph\images containing examples of the graphs that can be created.

The two SAS files in the appl subdirectory must be in that directory for the program to run. The SAS program x13gbat.sas can be stored in any directory.
