Good afternoon.  I've downloaded and installed the program.  I have the 2 car data zip files downloaded and unzipped.  They are sitting on my Hardy Heron desktop.  How do I move them from my desktop and "put them" into the FCF Create file.  Thank you.  Shiellb

The FCFCreate program does not take any *input* files.  It generates a directory of files suitable for use by FCFMain.  I am not sure what you mean by 'car' files.  If you mean the two FCF sample datasets (ChesapeakeSystem.zip and LHandBS.zip) and if you  mean to try them out with the Freight Car Forwarder (FCFMain), then you can either just start up FCFMain and optionally specifiy the system.dat file in one or the other directories:

FCFMain ~/Desktop/ChesapeakeSystem/system.dat

or

FCFMain ~/Desktop/LHandBS/system.dat

OR you can fire up  FCFMain with no parameters:

FCFMain

and  use the Open toolbar button or the File=>Open... menu item and then browse for one of the system.dat files.
