Files from versions of SORTIE prior to 6.01

If you used previous versions of SORTIE, you may have a collection of files you used for runs. This version of SORTIE can read some of those files. (If you have not used previous versions of SORTIE, this topic is probably irrelevant for you.) Supported file types:

• Harvest regime files (.hvr). A harvest regime file is a specification for harvest and planting for a run. A harvest regime file can be read in once a parameter file has been loaded. The parameter file must have the same species, and in the same order, as the file originally used to create the harvest regime file. In addition, the loaded parameter file must have a number of timesteps at least as large as the timestep of the last harvest or planting event. The old versions of SORTIE relied upon a hard-wired grid cell area for the harvest and planting specifications, while the new version may have a different resolution. SORTIE will make the conversion, but the areas of harvest and/or planting may be slightly different afterwards. To read a harvest regime file, use "File-> Open file".
• Output files (.out). Old output files can be viewed in the data visualization functions of the model.

Parameter files (.par). SORTIE-ND versions up to 6.04 support these parameter files. Later versions, including this one, do NOT support .par files. You can download and install a version of SORTIE-ND up to 6.04, and read this topic in its user manual for instructions on how to import your file. You can then save it into a SORTIE-ND parameter file, which can be opened by later SORTIE-ND versions.

Tree map files (.stmf). The format for tree map files from older versions of SORTIE is no longer supported. However, SORTIE-ND does support a different tab-delimited tree map file format. It is easy to manually convert any old .stmf files to the new format using a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel.

All other file types are unsupported.
