Appendix: 2.3 - Editing CRiSP Harvest Files

It is important to retain the file extensions for the CRiSP Harvest parameter files. The extensions identify the type of file to the executable. Unfortunately, Windows NT and Windows 95 try to associate an application with each type of file. The best editor for looking at and editing these ASCII files is called WordPad but it is not the default application for any of the files. Currently, the filename extensions used for various CRiSP Harvest files help identify the type of file and allow cross-platform compatibility between PC and Unix versions of the model.

To use WordPad to look at or edit the CRiSP Harvest ASCII files you do one of the following:

Launch WordPad and then open the file

2. From the Windows Start menu select "Programs".
3. Select "Accessories".
4. Select "WordPad".
5. Open CRiSP Harvest ASCII files using the Open command on the File menu.

4. Select the "File Types" tab.
5. Click "New Type..."
6. Follow dialog box instructions.
7. Be sure to add "Open" to the Actions list and choose
   "C:/Program Files/Accessories/WordPad.exe" as the application.
