Mar 15 2007 03:35:52:960PM1070315020Ian HutchinsonLoad from 1051031011. It does not have a DPCS setup using prior.
Tweaked around the fizzle stuff prior to this.

Looks ok. Load into model.
This is supposed to be EF4 double swing test.
Mar 15 2007 05:00:24:013PM1070315025Ian HutchinsonLoad from shot 1060613015
Decrease IP to 0.6MA
Decrease nl04 to 6e19.
Load. Try for all systems.
