  > IRMa-<version>.jar : IRMa library specific code
  > *.bat : batch to run IRMa in specific mode. See following sections.  

Run batch file run.bat.
A graphical interface will allow user to validate a Mascot identification result. Help on validation and others features is accessible in user guide.

Note
To validate big Mascot identification, it is possible to increase memory used by the application: Edit run.bat file and change the value parameter in -Xmx<value>m attribute. This value correspond to the amount of memory which will be allocated to IRMa, in Mo. Be careful to not specify a value equal (or upper!) to your PC memory full capacity !

Run batch file runBatch.bat.
This mode allow to execute a set of operations, in a automatic manner, on a set of Mascot identification results or on previously saved IRMa projects. Operations to be executed can be uploaded from a script file or can be edited in IRMa Batch interface.

A complete description of the use and configuration of IRMa Batch is available.

Attention runBatch.bat file is only a example of how to run IRMa in this mode.

The automatic mode allow to execute a set of operations, defined in a script file, on a specific Mascot identification result. The script file is the same as the one used in batch mode. See IRMa Batch documentation. This mode has no user interface.
