secwcd.olll---{;ontains output data for diversion of
the CCS TRF's that are exchanged for
FAP water stored in Pueblo
Reservoir. Output for each program
run is appended to the file, which is
used by the CCS water administration
personnel.

sllbdir.cpl---{;ontillns the computer script code to
create the monthly directories and to
copy the daily output files for a given
month to the appropriate directory.
(This file is not required for a
program run; see the "Procedures to
Archive Current Output Files"
section, p. 35-36)

slIbrch.oul---{;ontains subreach output of NSF and
TRF discharge quantities for each
day. Output for each program run is
appended to the file, which is used by
the CCS water administration
personnel.

Ilcalc.olll---{;ontillns the subreach bank-storage
and channel-storage gainsllosses and
the evaporation losses for the'CCS
TRF'S and the FAP TRF's. Output for
each program run is appended to the
file.

In addition, a file is created in the nexttrloss directory
for each day of transit-loss computations; each file is
named by the accounting program using the form
Ilyyyymmdd (fig. 7) where
Il=acronym for transit loss,
yyyy=four-digit year,
mm=two-digit month, and
dd=two-digit day.
The nexttrloss directory also contains 12 subor-
dinate directories with a name using the form
mmm.yyyy (fig. 7) where
mmm=three character abbreviation for month
of the water year (oct, nov, dec, jan, feb,
mar, apr, may,jun, jul, aug. and sep) and
yyyy=four-digit year.
Each monthly directory contains all of the daily output
files (fig. 7) for the appropriate month; the daily output
files for a month are moved,from the nexttrloss direc-
tory to the monthly directories by an automated proce-
dure (see the "Procedures to Archive Current Output

.~

"

Files" section, p. 35-36). The 12 monthly directories
are defined on a water-year (October-September) basis.

Contents of the Trloss Directory

The trloss directory (fig. 7), which contillns the
source code and the executable files for the accounting
program, consists of the following directories and files:

init.files---directory containing copies of the
accounting program input files (see
the "Contents of the Nexttrloss
Directory", p. 27-29); these files are
null files (do not contain any data)
and are used only to reinitiate the
accounting program. The files in the
init.fiIes directory are not used in the
day-to-day program operation; only
the files in the nexttrloss directory
are used for that.

source----directory containing the FORTRAN
source-code file (newlrloss.f77) for
the accounting program and a file
(varUsl) listing of all the variable
names used in the accounting
program.

bsfile.dal-Iile contillning the subreach data for
the bank-storage component of
transit loss for selected TRF and
NSF discharges; the data were
derived in the transit-loss study
(Kuhn, 1988, tables 12-26). The file
is read once at program stan and the
content is never changed.

newrrloss.nm-file containing the executable
accounting program.

Contents of the Meanday Directory

The meanday directory (fig. 7), which contillns
the source code and the executable files for the
programs used in computing the daily discharge data,
consists of the following directories and files:
