- B. STAGES OVERVIEW
- Stages is an analytical tool developed to aid the
- pathologist/toxicologist in tracking germ cells through time
- in the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium. The program has
- been designed for use in experiments with the testis of rats,
- hamsters, mice and dogs, and incorporates the basic kinetics
- of spermatogenesis. Given a cell in the cycle, STAGES can
- predict its position after a specified period of time, either
- forward or backward. The duration of the cycle of the
- seminiferous epithelium can be changed, if the user suspects
- that the cycle length has been altered.
-
- C. TO RUN STAGES, SIMPLY TYPE STAGES
-
- STAGES IS COMPILED FOR USE ON PERSONAL COMPUTERS THAT ARE IBM-
- COMPATIBLE. THE FILES THAT ARE NEEDED FOR EXECUTION ARE
- LISTED UNDER STAGES/V1.2. THE COMPILED EXECUTABLE FILE IS
- DERIVED FROM THE FILES UNDER SRC.
-
- D. To compile STAGES: (version 1.2)
-
- 1/ go to directory \STAGES\V1.2\SRC
-
- 2/ type \LANG\TURBOC\TC
- (this starts the turboc compiler)
-
- 3/ in turboc: type ALT-C to get the compiler menu, then
- select
- MAKE EXE option
-
- [compiling outside of XTREE program maximizes amount of memory
- available to the compiler]
- [compiling while editing an empty function in TC also maximizes
- amount of memory available to the compiler]
