              NONROAD Emissions Inventory Model

NR-NOTE8.TXT  June 8, 2000

Web Release of Updated Draft NONROAD Model in Support of 2007 HD
Vehicle Rule


I. Overview

This note contains this overview section, a section for users
installing model files from the web, a section for users
installing model files from a CD, and a section on finishing
touches for all users.  This replaces Note 7, which only covered
installation from CD.  

This is one item in a series of notes being issued concerning the
DRAFT EPA NONROAD model, which was released in June 1998. There
were updated/corrected versions of some of the model files in
July and October of 1998 and in April 1999, which were posted on
the Nonroad web site.  Various technical reports documenting the
model inputs have also been distributed via the web site at
various times since June 1998.  

This release updates the input data files to match what is being
used in the air quality modeling for the 2007 Heavy Duty Highway
Vehicle rulemaking.  Documentation of these changes can be found
in the May 31, 2000, EPA memo titled "Changes to the NONROAD
Model for the April 2000 Version Used in Support of the 2007
Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Rule," which was submitted to the EPA
Air Docket Docket A-99-06.  The model and data files are being
made available as part of EPA's effort to allow public review of
the methods and data involved in this rulemaking.  Users should refer
to the file POSTLI12.TXT for guidance on SIP and other uses of
NONROAD.

This release also includes minor updates to the Reporting Utility
as described below.  The core model executable (nonroad.exe) has
not changed since Feb 23, 1999, and the Graphic User Interface
(GUI) has not changed since the last release dated January 3,
2000.  The CD includes all the files needed to run the NONROAD
model, including the core model, the input data files, the
graphic user interface (nr-gui.exe), and the reporting utility.  

The minor changes to the Reporting Utility since the April 1999
release are: 

a) corrections to a few FIPS and county name spellings in the
   Counties table. 
b) Specialty Vehicle Carts have been changed to "lumped" in the
   Equipment Types table, meaning that 2- and 4-stroke equipment
   populations under 25 hp have been combined, in recognition
   that most of these vehicles are covered by EPA emission
   standards for small spark-ignition engines, which is expected
   to result in a shift from 2-stroke to 4-stroke engines. 
c) New airport ground support equipment SCC codes have been added
   in the Equipment Types table.  These are not currently used,
   but were added in anticipation of a more detailed future
   method of accounting for these equipment types, rather than
   counting them all as a single equipment type. 



II. Installation from ZIP'd (compressed) Files From Web

CAUTION: If wish to retain any model outputs that you already
have imported into your Reporting Utility (these are contained in
the nrdata.mdb file), you should just install the updated main
reporting utility file, REPORTS.MDB, which is contained in
REPT-MDB.ZIP.  If you install the full set of reporting utility
files (NR00A2.ZIP), you risk overwriting your old nrdata.mdb
file.  Alternatively, you could save your current nrdata.mdb file
to a different directory temporarily and then move it back into
c:\nonroad\reports\ after installing the full set of reporting
utility files. 

UnZIPing files: 

All the model files are contained in ZIP'd (compressed) files.
You can uncompress and install these new files using an unZIP
utility of your choice, such as PKUNZIP or WINZIP.  Be sure to
set the unZIP options to include the folder names when extracting
the files. If using PKUNZIP from the DOS prompt, the options you
should specify are: 

 -d (restore directory structure stored in ZIP file), and
 -o (overwrite previously existing files)

For example, the DOS command to unZIP the new NONROAD data file
would be: 

 pkunzip -do nr00a1.zip


A.  Users With a Prior Installation of NONROAD

If you have a prior installation of NONROAD on your computer, be
sure to read the warnings above about saving any desired files
from previous modeling runs.  You will need two or three of the
following files: 

 NR00A1.ZIP (core model, new data files, and instuctions)
   The core model, NONROAD.EXE, is still the version dated
   2/23/99, but most of the data files are new.  Place this ZIP
   file into your c:\nonroad directory and unZIP it, allowing it
   to overwrite any existing versions of the files, including the
   entire nonroad\data\ subdirectory. 


 REPT-MDB.ZIP (updated main reporting utility file only, for
   existing users)  Place this ZIP file into your 
   c:\nonroad\reports\ subdirectory and unZIP it, allowing it
   to overwrite the existing version of reports.mdb. 

 NR-GUI.ZIP (January 2000 version of Graphic User Interface)
   This is needed only if you do not already have the January
   2000 update of NR-GUI.EXE.  Place this ZIP file into your 
   c:\nonroad directory and unZIP it, allowing it to overwrite
   the existing version of nr-gui.exe. 


B.  Users With No Prior Installation of NONROAD

All the model files are contained in ZIP'd (compressed) files:

 NR00A1.ZIP (core model, new data files, and instuctions)
 NR00A2.ZIP (reporting utility, all files, for new installations)
 NR-GUI.ZIP (graphic user interface EXE file, January 2000 update)
 NR99A3.ZIP (graphic interface DLL files, unchanged from earlier)

The first three of these files should be placed in your main
NONROAD model folder, such as c:\nonroad\.  You can then
uncompress and install these new files using an unZIP utility of
your choice, as described above.

When done extracting all the files, check that all the \data\
subdirectories exist and have files in them.  E.g.,
nonroad\data\allocate\ should have lots of files ending in .ALO.
When done with NR00A1.ZIP and NR00A2.ZIP, you can delete both of
them.

You will want to place the NR99A3.ZIP file into a temporary
directory, such as c:\windows\temp\, unZIP it, and then run the
SETUP.EXE file from there to complete the installation of the
graphic user interface.  After running SETUP.EXE, you can delete
the files from the temporary directory. 

Finally, please follow the instructions below in Section IV,
Finishing Touches. 



III. INSTALLATION OF NEW FILES FROM CD

CAUTION: If wish to retain any model outputs that you already
have imported into your Reporting Utility (these are contained in the
nrdata.mdb file), you should NOT copy the new nrdata.mdb file
from the CD, since doing so would overwrite your existing
nrdata.mdb file.  Alternatively, you could save your current
nrdata.mdb file to a different directory temporarily and then
move it back into c:\nonroad\reports\ after copying files from
the CD. 

A.  Users With a Prior Installation of NONROAD on Computer

After saving any desired files as described above, you can just
copy the new files from the CD into the corresponding directories
of your computer's hard drive.  You can ignore the
nonroad\gui-inst\ directory.  Then see step B (3) below. 

B.  Users With No Prior Installation of NONROAD

 (1) Copy the entire \nonroad\ directory with all its
subdirectories onto the root directory of your c: drive,
resulting in c:\nonroad\ and all its subdirectories, such as 
c:\nonroad\data\activity\, c:\nonroad\reports\, etc. 

 (2) Go into the \gui-inst\ directory and run SETUP.EXE.  This
will install the necessary Visual Basic system files into your
windows directory to allow the Graphic User Interface (GUI) to
run properly.  

 (3) If copied from a CD, you will need to remove the "Read-Only"
attribute from most of the files.  You can do this by running the
ATTRIB.BAT file from the Nonroad directory, or you can manually
go to the DOS Prompt, change to the c:\nonroad\ directory, and
enter the command: 

attrib /s *.* -r

This sets the file attributes for all files in c:\nonroad\ and
all its subdirectories.  

A more tedious method of doing this involves using Windows
Explorer or File Manager, selecting all the files within each
subdirectory, and using the menu command - File: Properties...
and de-selecting the "Read-only" checkbox.  This is tedious
because it must be done separately for each subdirectory. 

 (4) Please go to Section IV, Finishing Touches. 



IV.  Finishing Touches

A.  All Users: The first time you run the new Reporting Utility,
you will need to Re-Attach Tables (see the Data menu). 

B.  Users Who Did Not Have a Prior Installation of NONROAD on
Computer: 

(1) You will need to create a new directory: c:\nonroad\outputs\.
This is where the core model places its output files, and where
the Reporting Utility expects to import them from.  

(2) You will want to create New Shortcuts (desktop icons).  The
first one of these should point to the "target" command line 
c:\nonroad\nr-gui.exe to be able to run the model easily.  

The second shortcut you need to create is for the Reporting
Utility.  The command line target you need to use in the shortcut
is: (all on one line)

C:\NONROAD\REPORTS\MSARN200.EXE c:\nonroad\reports\reports.mdb
 /ini c:\nonroad\reports\nonroad.ini

The third shortcut you need to create is for the Compact Utility
for the Reports.  The command line target you need to use in the
shortcut is: (all on one line)

C:\NONROAD\REPORTS\MSARN200.EXE c:\nonroad\reports\compact.mdb
 /ini c:\nonroad\reports\nonroad.ini

You can also get the proper icon to display with each of these
reporting utility shortcuts.  In the Properties for the shortcut,
click on the Change Icon... button and in the Nonroad\Reports\
folder find the "reports.ico" file for the Reporting Utility, and
for the Compact Utility choose "squash.ico."

After creating these shortcuts, you can also get them to show up
in the Startup menu by copying or moving the the shortcut files
from C:\Windows\Desktop\ into C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\.
