14  Files created or used by QW-Editor

During its operation QW-3D creates and uses a variety of files which can be grouped into five categories:

1.       files used by QW-Editor, created by QW-Editor or externally,

2.       files created by QW-Editor and used by QW-Simulator,

3.       files created and used by QW-Simulator,

4.       files created by QW-Simulator for external use,

5.       externally prepared files used by QW-Simulator.

In this Section, brief overview of each of the above five categories will be presented. The objective is to give the user some notion about the content of the files that will appear in his directories, about the possibilities to influence the graphical environment, and about the kind of output data available for external use. Let us also stress that to the authors of the program, the files of the second category, i.e. the communication files between QW-Editor and QW‑Simulator, provide powerful means for software debugging. Since all these files are in text format, the user will be able to assist the authors in quick removal of any possible difficulties in software operation.
