Using Rachel, the user will be able to build a level scheme from either a hand-written text file and/or a Radware AGS file, define the experimental setup and import relative-efficiency-corrected gamma-ray data from Rachel-format text and/or AGS files.  The matrix and fit parameters can be defined by push-buttons and prompts or imported from a Rachel-format matrix file.  Gosia will then be run by push-button GUI controls.  Most prompts will be preceded by help information, suggestions, or warnings.
