Hints to reduce aggravation and minimize errors cont'd:
"TAPE" FILES USED BY THE PROGRAM:
Separate files are used for most input data to avoid confusion in where
data are located and read. NAMELIST input data is used extensively to
improve the association of variable names and values. NAMELIST also
offers a convenient way to utilize default values set in BLOCK DATA
(file BLKDAT.FOR) or in DATA statements in the subprogram. Each input
file (with a .DAT extension) has comments explaining where the data are
read. The program is "internally documented" in that all input variables
are defined near each read statement and comments on program logic are
provided in many places throughout the code. All input files are closed
after use to conserve tape usage whenever possible (DOS 3.3 allows only
19 active tapes).
HOUSE_II TAPE files are described on the following two screens.
