This package contains version 2.402 of GUICS, Graphical User Interface for
Crop Models. Please see the Readme file in the documents folder for more
information about GUICS and the models.	

If you are using a recent version of windows such as windows 2000 or 
XP, the new windows installer will recognize GUICS.msi when you click on it.
Otherwise just click on the setup.exe. If the new windows installer has not been
installed on your machine, the setup program will install it. 

We have added the ability to customize the format of the data downloaded from the Campbell scientific weather stations. There are still some problems downloading data, we are working on fixing them. We have also added the ability to download data via FTP. The one operational component works with the Univ. of Florida weather system (FAWN).

If you are using Windows 2000 or XP, GUICS has to be installed by a user with
administrative rights. You also have to have administrative rights to add or remove models. If a model is removed, the folder must be deleted or removed from the GUICS folder. It is not removed by default to prevent removal of files that a user may wish to save.
