DPM Version 3 Windows XP Compilation notes, September 30, 2008

DPM Version 3 is a stand-alone program written primarily in Fortran 77 with some Fortran 90. It was compiled and tested for a Windows XP 32-bit Operating System. The source code was compiled using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. The source code, executable file, user’s guide, sample data sets and README file are included in the zip file called dpmv3.0.zip that can be downloaded from http://wa.water.usgs.gov/dpm.

After downloading file dpmv3.0.zip, right-click on the file and select WinZip to extract all files to the directory where the user wants to run the program.

To run the program, double-click on file dpmv3.0.exe and the program will execute using the sample data sets for input. Verify that the program is executing properly by comparing new output files called out.* with the equivalent output files called compare_out.*. The user has the option of reading input files from separate directories and also directing output files to other directories. If this is done, pathnames in file dpm_filenames have to be adjusted accordingly.

Documentation for DPM Version 3 is in preparation by Bauer, Vaccaro, and van Heeswijk. Until this new documentation is published, DPM Version 3 can be referenced by citing the DPM documentation listed at http://wa.water.usgs.gov/dpm and noting the URL and date of access.
