N.L.Crookston RMRS-Moscow, May 22, 2002

Last revision of these notes: September 16, 2002

1. Added list of forest types for third field of the MODTYPE keyword
for the SN variant. Removed the obsolete sixth field of the MORTMULT keyword
and fixed the format for FIXDG and FIXHTG.  The calls to the editor were
removed for several post processors that have been rewritten so that
they no longer need launch an editor.

2. Changed the names of the variables used in the Generate Reports and Generate
Graphs functions for the FFE.  Variables refered to as "Wild" and "Prescribed"
fire variables are now refered to as "Severe" and "Moderate" (Sev. and Mod.).
This will comply with the new terms used in the Fire and Fuels Extension.

3. Modified the parameters entries for several Fire and Fuel Extension keywords
and Event Monitor entries.  They include the following:

   The option to output the reports without headings has been removed except for
   the SnagOut keyword.  The report is designed to be output to a special file and
   the others are designed to be output to the main output file.

   FuelBurn is renamed PileBurn

   FireType is renamed FlameAdj and this keyword can no longer be used to schedule
   a fire.

   PotFlame is renamed PotFire

   Added PotFTemp so that users can set the air temperature for the potential fire
   reports.

   FireCond is renamed SimFire and this keyword is the only way to schedule a fire.

   Added FuelModl so that user's can specify exactly which fuel models will be used
   and the weights used to compute the weighted average flame lengths.

   Added FuelMove to allow for moving fuel from one size class to another and from
   outside the stand to inside or inside to outside.

   Added DeFulMod to allow for the direct modification of the standard 13 (plus the
   custom model number 14) fuel models.  This keyword can be used to completely
   define up to 16 additional fuel models.

   Added SnagPSft to replace field 2 of the SnagBrk keyword. Now, species specific
   proportions "initially" soft can be entered.

   SnagBrk was greatly modified to improve its simplicity.

   The meaning of Field 5 of the Salvage keyword was modified.

   Event Monitor changes:

   FireYear is the year of the most recent fire.

   CrBulkDn and CrownIdx, and TorchIdx have been added; they correspond to entries
   in the Potential Fire Report.

   PPotFLen and WPotFLen have been removed and replaced with a new function called
   PotFLen(arg1). When arg1 is 1, the length for a severe fire is reported and 2
   for a moderate one.

   CoarseWD(…) has been renamed FuelLoad(…) with the same arguments.
