Besides reading your program and data files, Quantum also reads a number of other files if they exist. These files are ones which you create to determine more precisely how you want Quantum to work.

Many of the files may exist in more than one place; for example, in a subdirectory of the Quantum installation directory and also in the project directory. This enables you to define a set of defaults for the way Quantum operates for all users, but to override those defaults for specific projects.

All files are text files which you can create with a text editor. Unless otherwise stated, you must create these files in the area in which the job is to run; for example, the project directory.
