Frequently Asked Questions
I downloaded and unziped the SUPREM file and set all the
environment parameters. It's still not working.
When I try to run the
program from the DOS comand prompt, it gives me the following message:
SUPREM-IV A.9130
(c) 1991 Stanford University
(c) 1991 University of Florida
Reading Models...
where is the unformatted key file???
unable to read or open the unformatted key file d:/rel.9130/suprem.key
I tried to search for that file suprem.key, and it doesn't seem to
exist.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it?
And my reply:
As we discussed in class, this error message means that the key file (it is called suprem.uk) is not
sitting in the exact place that you have set your environment variable SUP4KEYFILE to. (If this is true for the key file, it is probably true for the
model and impdata files as well). When the program automatically unzips, e.g.,
on the C: drive, it unzips to a directory called C:/suprem/suprem I suggest
that you move the files up one level on the hierarchy (i.e., let them sit in the directory C:/suprem), or change the definition of your environment
variables from the old definition (C:/suprem/suprem.uk) to where they
actually are (C:/suprem/suprem/suprem.uk)
