Running Quantum on UNIX and Microsoft Windows
A complete Quantum run consists of these stages:
1 Compile your program and convert it into the C programming language.
2 Convert the C code into a C program.
3 Read and process the data using the program created at step 2.
4 Weight the data (optional).
5 Accumulate cell values for tables.
6 Manipulate the data (optional).
7 Write out the tables.
You can either run all stages automatically one after the other, or you can run a specific stage in isolation.
