(D2OL)™ is actually two programs that work together: the Engine and the Agent. The Engine runs silently in your system tray.

The Agent runs like a normal window in your task bar.

The Engine tests drug Candidates and reports Conformers. The Agent displays the current Candidate and Conformers as they are analyzed. When you start , either from the start menu or from a shortcut on your desktop, both the Engine and Agent programs are launched. Because the Engine is a separate program, you can close the Agent and the Engine will continue to function normally.

IMPORTANT: When you close the Agent window, then Engine will continue to run in the system tray. If you want to open the Agent window again, double click on the (D2OL)™ icon in the system tray. DO NOT re-launch (D2OL)™ from the Start menu if you see the (D2OL)™ icon in the system tray. Doing so will cause multiple Engines to run at once and this behavior is not supported. Please do so only if you do not see the (D2OL)™ icon in the system tray.

Controlling Tasks.

Even though (D2OL)™ tasks are designed to use only your extra computing resources, you may choose to suspend the Engine's current task. When the Engine is suspended the system tray icon will change from to and the current Target will stop rotating. You may resume tasks at any time.

Exiting.

To exit (D2OL)™ , right click on the system tray icon and choose Exit. You will know that the Engine has exited when you no longer see in the system tray.
