Options | File Extensions

Associate file extensions with the GAMS IDE.

Using the Windows Explorer, a program can be started with a double-click on the file name. The program executed depends on the file extension. For example, a 'txt' file extension will launch NotePad to edit the file. The file extensions specified do not make these files GAMS file automatically. i.e. apply GAMS syntax colors and enable the Run/Compile for these file. See GAMS file extensions.

You can associate the GAMS IDE with one or more file extensions using the following options. Under WinNT/Win2000 you may have to log in as administrator to make these changes.

When the GAMS IDE starts, the program will look for file extensions associated with the GAMSIDE. Files that are associated with other versions of the IDE will be associated with the running version automatically.
