Rainbow is used as a launching pad for Okapi utilities. The program provides a user-friendly graphical interface to specify common parameters (such as input files, encodings, language information, output file, etc.) that are used to run any utility available. The settings can be saved in a project file and re-used in later sessions.
Rainbow can also be executed from a command line. You can also use Tikal to run launch utilities from a command line or from batch files.
A number of utilities are provided with Rainbow, but you can also develop your own, or used third-party ones as well. As long as a utility is part of a component that implements the standard Okapi interface for utility sets, it can be used from Rainbow or Tikal.
