List of Files for Hydrology
There are a number of different Hydrology data files. Some are created when
you save data from various dialog boxes; others are shipped with the program.
In the following list, data types without filenames (extensions only) are files
that you create and name from dialog boxes. Data types shown with filenames
come with the program; the files are stored in c:\Land Projects R2\<project
name>\hd folder.
NOTE
Some data files are compiled and cannot be viewed or edited.
