SCALE6 Update for Windows Original Update: March 20, 2009 Last Revision: April 24, 2009 Description of Update ---------------------------- This update contains corrections for several unrelated problems in the initial Windows version of SCALE 6 as distributed on the RSICC DVDs. GeeWiz GUI: This update (Feb. 18 2009) corrects several minor errors in GeeWiz 6.0.2 (Jan. 30 2009) distributed with SCALE 6. Problems noted with the original version included (1) failure to read some valid CSAS/KENO input files and (2) extraneous ResponseID data written in a MAVRIC/Monaco input file. These errors were due to some uninitialized variables stored in the CSAS/KENO object memory, and unresolved logic error in the MAVRIC/Monaco GeeWiz code base. OrigenArp Windows GUI: The version of the OrigenArp Windows GUI in SCALE 6 is 5.1.01, which is the same as the latest update for SCALE 5.1. This update corrects 2 problems that occur because OrigenArp was not updated for changes in SCALE 6. 1) OrigenArp attempts to call SCALE with the batch5 command from SCALE 5.1 instead of the batch6 command from SCALE 6. 2) In SCALE 6, the plot files created by OPUS contain 4 more digits than the files in SCALE 5.1. Clicking on the Plot button in OrigenArp generates an error message that no plot files were found. The fix copies the plot files and removes "0000" from each file name. You will have two copies of the plot files with the shorter 5.1 and longer 6.0 file names. PFE Text Editor: The Programmer's File Editor (PFE) was inadvertently omitted from the SCALE 6 installation DVDs. This update installs PFE to \pfe on the same drive where SCALE 6 is installed. This is the same version that was distributed in SCALE 5.1. "Run SCALE6" Shortcut The "Run SCALE6" shortcut points to SCALE 5.1 for the icon. If SCALE 5.1 is not installed, the SCALE icon does not appear. This corrected shortcut points to c:\scale6\scale.ico for the icon. You will need to manually copy the shortcut from \scale6\shortcuts to your desktop SCALE6 folder. Installation of Update ---------------------- Download and run scale6-windows_update.exe. Specify the drive where you have previously installed SCALE 6 and click Unzip button. Do not include the full path - it will automatically be added by the installation program.
