 This is a generic Swift tool that runs an executable over a range of numbers with arbitrary stepsize. 
 
+Execution location allows user to declare where to run the tool. Executable can be any arbitrary executable of type "binexec" uploaded by user.
+
+Start, end and stepsize are integer values. Note that the stepsize cannot be less than 1. Optionally, sser can add new arguments to be provided to the tool executable after the numeric argument. Each args box must contain exactly one argument without spaces.

 **Example**
 
-Pick up an executable from the Executable list. Enter the start, end and the step size values.
