Open the WINDOWS EXPLORER program on your PC. 2. Create a new folder on your hard drive, for example called FRONTIER, byusing the File/New/Folder option. 3. Copy ALL the files associated with FRONTIER into this folder, usingthe File/Copy option or by drag-and-drop. 4. If the files are stored in a FRONT41.ZIP file, you will then needto unzip (extract) the files by double-clicking on the zip file andextracting the contents of the zip file into the FRONTIER folder. FILES USED BY FRONTIER[数据文件的使用方法] FRONTIER uses three text files when it conducts an analysis. These are:- a data file (eg. named eg1-dta.txt) [等处理“数据文件”]- an instruction file (eg. named eg1-ins.txt)[“指令文件”]- an output file (eg. named eg1-out.txt)[“输出文件”] All of these files are text files. They can be edited using many programs.For example, NOTEPAD, WORDPAD, WORD, WORD PERFECT, etc.We suggest you use WORDPAD to view and edit these files.[数据文件都是用“记事本”格式，方便编辑] HOW TO RUN THE PROGRAM [具体程序运行步骤] To practice running FRONTIER double-click on the FRONT41.EXE file name.[双击FRONT41.EXE直接运行，但建议在DOS界面运行便于查看结果(不然后面会一闪界面就没了)，具体当面说明][注意一定要包含此四个文件：front41.exe,front41.FOR,front41.000,F77L3.EER]The program will then ask for an instruction file name. Type ineg1-ins.txt(and hit the RETURN key). FRONTIER will only take a few seconds to completethis small example. To look at the output file (eg1-out.txt) you thensimply double-click on the eg1-out.txt file name.[根据提示，输入指示文件名，并回车。运行此范例后，可以双击eg1-out.txt查看结果][具体为：开始时出现如下提示：]Do you
