    • allow "cfish" as a diet item (food web mode)
    • allow "length" as an age-class diet item (food web mode)
    • provide more robust error checking

  • Implemented CEAM standard installation INSTALIT/MediaBuilder code and log. Compressed self-extracting, interactive installation program with online, context sensitive help. Created external diskette labels as per CEAM SDLCM.
  • Replaced FGETS executable task image file (XFGETSX.EXE) with 32-bit, protected mode file built with Lahey FORTRAN, F77L-EM/32 version 5.01 and Phar Lap 386LINK version 4.1L (CEAM standard FORTRAN distribution tools). DOS extender is bound into application EXE file with automatic virtual memory management; distributed royalty free. No overlay structure; linked as flat memory model. EXE file now requires 386/486 based system with co-processor.
