Hi Niall,
As also a novice in using ALPS, I would guess that's a placeholder name for any executable with uses the alps scheduler, e.g. any precompiled alps application. The standard application names are listed in the same page you're referring to (just scroll down to "applications"). Just for a reference, here's what I have in the corresponding folder:

Hi,
I have just managed to get the alps 1.3b3 library and applications installed. I am new to this area so have started going through the tutorials at http://alps.comp-phys.org:16080/mediawiki-1.9.3/index.php/Tutorials:Overvi ew.
The first tutorial uses an executable called "main" in the alps bin directory to run the simulation. I do not have any executable in the bin directory by that name.
I am guessing that it might be that the name has changed from version 1.2.2. Can anyone tell me the name of the equivalent executable if this is the case?
Thanks,
Niall.
