There are five categories in accordance with how the dam shapes are formed.
The category 1, which is for a dam that is formed by all STRAIGHT LINES, is
shown below:
Inside the DAM Folder, a subfolder GRAFAID can provide help to facilitate
preparing input data. You can use it to prepare other graphic report and
paper document too.
For example: Press L to lable graph to produce lettering above.
Repeat pressing L to produce many lines of lettering.
The GRAFAID is adapted from PREPRE_1 to coordinate running the Program as follows:

Press U (UP-LEFT REDUCE) to vacate some screen space for data editing use.
Hold down key "Alt" and press key
"Enter" to switch to windows mode.
Use a premade dam.dat file as a template and double click it to bring up NOTEPAD.
Adjust and arrange the split screen so that you can see graph and edit data clearly.
Edit data as you want.
Save the New file DAM.DAT on finishing.
Double Click Xpro.bat to run the Program.
The Run finishes, gives DAM.OUT as output and also an Accounting Record.
