GAUSS Utilities

There are several GAUSS utilities that are included with the GAUSS Engine. The GAUSS Profiler utilities include the collector tool, encollect (the GAUSS Engine equivalent to tcollect), and the GAUSS Profiler analysis tool, gaussprof. Also included are ATOG, a conversion utility that converts ASCII files into GAUSS data sets, and vwr or vwrmp depending upon your platform (Windows, Linux, etc.).

The GAUSS User’s Guide and/or accompanying README files in the GAUSS Engine home directory provide details on how to use these tools. A short list of options and syntax is also often available by starting the utility without any options or by typing utility -help at a command prompt.

Note: in all cases, these standalone utilities are not run from within the GAUSS Engine but rather from a command prompt window. You can easily go to a command prompt from a GAUSS Engine prompt by typing dos. This will take you to a command prompt in your current working directory.
