Robert:

It seems that my alternative using option 5 is not feasible (no replies from the group ... yet). Can you help in setting up option 6? I have one outfall controlled by tidal therefore I have set up the ascii file as follows:

1 1
2
2
2003 1 1 0 0.256
2003 1 1 0.25 0.275
..... (9098 data lines)


I have named it "tidal.bcf" extension is suggest by EXTRAN.DOC.

I have changed MM line to:

* NITCH NSCRAT(1) NSCRAT(2) NSCRAT(3) NSCRAT(4) NSCRAT(5)

MM 5 1 2 3 4
5

But I get an error message saying that I am not allowed to use nscrat
(5).

===> ERROR !! PROGRAM EXECUTION STOPPED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON.

A JIN, JOUT, OR NSCRAT FILE uses file numbers 5, 6, or 55. This is not allowed.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help,
