    Antoine,<br>
      You bring up some interesting ideas here. <br>
    <br>
    First, the Studio plugin technology is not implemented in TRNSED;
    the Studio plugin corresponds between the plugin and the proforma
    and TRNSED doesn't use the proformas at all. As a result, you need
    to modify your GUI to use it with TRNSED. We've done this with the
    various components in the TESS Applications library. <br>
    <br>
    Second, there is a way of launching plugins (not Studio plugins,
    mind you) but any *.exe really from TRNSED. Look at sections 6.10.5
    and 6.10.7 of the TRNEdit documentation. You can also look at
    section 6.12.1.7; it explains a command called APPLINK that while
    technically obsolete, is still implemented in Trnsys17.<br>
    <br>
    Best,<br>
