The programs work entirely with text files for all input and output.
The program chooses by default a unique extension for each and every different type of input/output file. This means that the program automatically associates a specific extension with each input/output file unless an extension is specified by the user.
In the EosFit7c console program, if you are using the default extension you will only need to give the file name (without extension). On the other hand you will be able to change the extension for each of the input/output files at any time but you will have to type the file name together with the extension that you have chosen. Below is a list of the default extensions used by the program. Under Windows, the file browsers allow you to open a file with any type of extension, but they default to the extensions listed below.
In the EosFit7 GUI the file browsers allow you to open a file with any type of extension, but they default to the extensions listed below.
