Changes in this version: 2008-05-01
Corrected and improved screens for editing SCRP and PARM arrays.2008-04-29
Other changes made to support the newest EPIC0509.exe:
Redesigned table [Parameters] to match EPIC's structure for two arrays SCRP and PARM. SCRP values that were previously separated into int and float are now stored as a single float. Fields "PARM(71)" through "PARM(75) are new additions. Program TableCheck can convert existing tables. Since the user can select different entries in the [Parameters] table for each control record, some duplicate variables which had been used to differentiate EPIC versions were eliminated (see Tablecheck page for a list).The site file ie.sit has been restructured
A format change and an additional variable added to EPICRUN.DAT.
The file ieOps.dat column format changed.
The header at the top of EPIC0001.ACY, EPIC0001.SCN and EPIC0001.ACN changed.Fixed bug that caused i_EPIC parse error in EPIC0001.out if running EPIC0509.exe and soil table selected (Print Code = 1, 4, or 5).
Modified doc_i_epic.read_console_text for newest EPIC0509.exe, which writes years to console output.
Fixed bug that didn't always show choices in "File" | "Set Stored Output Variables".
