        3. For a complete save of all the input files select the Full Write option. 

         4. If you have only made changes to the formatting options in EFDC+ Explorer and want those saved, select the Save Profile File Only option.  The profile is always saved for the other save options also.

         5. If the user only has the “*.EFDC” archive file and wants to create a set of files that EFDC needs to run that project, the user must select the Full Write option to create all the input files required.

The user can choose 2 format options:

• EEMS 10 can only be viewed and calculated by EFDC+ Explorer and EFDC+ version 10.
• EEMS 8.5 can be viewed by EFDC+ Explorer version 8.4 or 8.5 or 10 and calculated by EFDC+ version 8.4 or 8.5.
