The output for ArcInfo can also be called up directly without the graphical user interface via the command line, provided a suitable batch file *.bna is available in the directory. To do this, navigate to the directory in which the calculation is to be carried out. If you enter nachlauf and confirm with the Enter key, a calculation is started with the module NACHLAUF. The default batch file name is nach.bna. This file is searched for in the directory. However, a different batch file can also be specified with the nachlauf filename call (the extension ".bna" is automatically appended if required). The batch files can be created or modified manually using any editor.
