Installing the System
ASSESS
ASSESS in its executable form is entirely in the public domain. In the future, it may be downloaded from the U.S. EPA Bulletin Board System.
ASSESS.exe is the only file required to run ASSESS. If a metacode file is to be converted to a file with an HPGL format, then Hpplot.exe and Hershy.bar are required. Hershy.bar is a character font file and is required to execute Hpplot.exe.
The executable file, example data set, and optional files are as follows:

The files denoted as "Used for Comparison" will be created by ASSESS as you run through the program. Therefore, these files may reside somewhere outside the directory where ASSESS resides and thus will not be overwritten.
The source code is written in FORTRAN 77 for the Microsoft (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA) FORTRAN compiler (version 4.01 ). With the exception of slightly modified proprietary Graflib Version 1.0 (Sutrasoft, Sugarland, TX) subroutines used for generating screen graphics, the source code is also in the public domain.
