8. IMF (Why Do We Need It?)
Standard Input and Output
Model Comparison

9. IMF (How Is It Developed?)
Developed using Microsoft VC++
Standard and ‘Friendly’ GUI

10. IMF (Further Development?)
Add more features
More than one output / model
User defined input / output
Add more models
Any other ideas to
