To save a currently opened project (i.e. Write Operation), click on the disk button highlighted on the toolbar shown in Figure 3 2.
The Select Directory: Write Operation form will be displayed (Figure 1). The user has the option to select which files are written by selecting the appropriate Save Option button. For a complete save of all the input files select the Full Write option. If you have only made changes to the formatting options in EFDC_Explorer and want those saved, select the Save Profile option. The profile is always saved for the other save options also.

If the user wishes to save in the EPA GVC Model format rather than EFDC_DSI model format this should be selected in the Active Modules tab Model Selection frame on the main EFDC_Explorer form. This method allows quick reformatting of the EFDC.INP file for the different models. Care must be exercised to ensure that all the parameters have the desired values when switching models (see Section 5.4 Active Modules Tab).

The project specific settings for information/data that the EFDC model does not use (i.e. labels, plot formatting, etc.) are saved in the EFDC.EE file, which is located in the project directory. If the user wants to manually copy a complete EFDC project data set (together with all the ASCII .INP files or the binary archive file) the user should also copy all of the *.EE files.
