Ralph,

Thanks for your response. I hope I can clear the confusions:

Yes, you are right. Pelegant is the executable file.

run_p.ele is a text input file (used for parsing several commands for
Pelegant), which specifies which lattice file (used for describe the
layout of an accelerator) will be used.

Both run_p.ele and FFTB.lte are pre-existed in the current directory.

Pelegant parses run_p.ele, which tells Pelegant to use FFTB.lte as the
lattice file.
