Environment

Introduced in Linuxpops, is the concept of environments. That is, you can be working on analyzing one source with all the search criteria set-up,and then quickly switch to another entirely different environment with one single command. And then, switch back to the first. A total of (16) environments are available.

Think of environments as completely separate instances of an analysis program. (Mostly)

Each environment contains all the search parameters necessary to single out the data sets, scans, sources, frequencies, etc. you are interested in, including the ability to ignore bad scans. You can also specify a completely different input data-file. Although, environment 0-3 are meant to be reserved for the on-line file. (Not strictly enforced at this time)

The compete state of your session is keep in a binary memory file that automatically loads at run-time. You can even specify a named memory file if you like; further adding to the versatility. Individual environment configurations can be saved in a text file that can be edited and reloaded when necessary.
