FireFamilyPlus Change Log

There is a CANCEL button! All Fire Danger PocketCard information is now associated with the Station or SIG to facilitate easier generation of multiple cards. You may also specify the critical percentile on the dialog screen. From a Weather->Climatology->Statistic Graph up to three additional variables may be merged onto the base graph (Use Options Menu). Individual years, all years, and period averages may be selected. The Weather->Season Reports->Daily Listing report allows you to denote number of fires and large-fires along with the date/index fields. Proprietary GIF support for graphs has been removed, but the newer PNG support added. The Fire-Day probability analysis allows 'conditional probability' analysis for large and multiple fire-days. More detail is provided in the help file on interpretation of goodness of fit statistics. Fires rejected from a Fire-Day probability analysis can be viewed in a separate window. Multiple files can be selected when importing station catalogs, fire weather, and 'agency standard' fire occurrence files. The data import process for both weather and fire data has been re-engineered to not allow duplicate records, yet be acceptable in speed. Duplicate records are rejected during the import process. The data import process for both weather and fire data has been re-engineered to not allow duplicate records, yet is acceptable in speed. Users can now import user-defined indexes from external text files via the Data->User Variables menu. See details in the help file. Computation of NFDRS indexes is based on an "active-x" control instead of internal code allowing for easier update and distribution of the NFDRS calculation kernel. The FireFamilyPlus Database has been updated to Access 2000 level compatibility. FireFamilyPlus databases copied from a CD no longer need to have their file properties changed from read-only prior to use. The most current Department of Interior Agency Organizational Structures have been loaded into the template database, fireplus.ffp. In particular this addresses the rename of NPS Regional Offices to Field Offices.
