TITLE: "SOILS5 WEPP Soil File Builder - Installation Program" BEGINFIRSTSCREEN This program will install the WEPP soil builder/SOILS 5 interface on your hard disk. The program must be installed in the c:\usrs directory. To use the file builder, you must change to the c:\usrs\wepsoil\wepp directory and execute the soilgen.exe program. Soil output files will be written to the c:\usrs\inout\weppsol directory ENDFIRSTSCREEN MINDISKSPACE: 5000000 MINCPUTYPE: 80386 DEFAULTDIR: C:\usrs, noaskdir noaskdrive FILE: weppsoil.EXE, self-extract, overwrite=new FILE: c:\usrs\inout\s5dat\soile.exe, self-extract, overwrite=new BEGINGROUP Select Sets of Soil Data: Press Enter to Select or De-Select, F2 to Accept. 10 [ ] None (Eastern States are loaded automatically) 20 [ ] The Northwest States 30 [ ] The Southwest States 40 [ ] The Central States ENDGROUP INSERTDISK: "Northwest Soils disk", group =20 FILE: c:\usrs\inout\s5dat\soilnw.exe, self-extract, overwrite=new, group=20 INSERTDISK: "Southwest Soils disk", group =30 FILE: c:\usrs\inout\s5dat\soilsw.exe, self-extract, overwrite=new, group=30 INSERTDISK: "Central Soils disk", group =40 FILE: c:\usrs\inout\s5dat\soilc.exe, self-extract, overwrite=new, group=40 BEGINLASTSCREEN The program (soilgen) is designed to make WEPP and WEPS soil input files using USDA-NRCS Soil-5 data base. Several assumptions have been made while calculating soil texture and soil water parameters. To generate soil input files, change to the c:\usrs\wepsoil\wepp directory, and type "soilgen". The program accepts a two character code for each state. The program will place the soils files in the c:\usrs\inout\weppsoil directory. The file names start with the soil name with the last character of c (for WEPP soil input for cropland) and r (for WEPP soil input file for rangeland). The extensions for WEPP files are *.sol. The file which has an extension *.wps is a soil input file for the wind erosion model (WEPS). ENDLASTSCREEN
