Beginning with EE7.1, when the user tries to start a new EFDC run, EE will check the EFDC_DSI executable version number to ensure that the correct version of EFDC_DSI is being used with the current version of EFDC_Explorer. If the user tries to run EFDC_DSI with an incorrect version, EE will report to the user that the versions are incompatible and will not allow the run to start. The EFDC_DSI executable file will have the same version number as that of EFDC_Explorer.  For example EE8.1 will only run EFDCPlus _081_OMP_YYMMDD.exe. Where YYMMDD is the release date such 150601.
