When those files are stored in and then extracted to the computer user’s C:\Forecast directory they will let the user duplicate my Chart-A and Year Chart files. The user can then focus in on different time periods, display earthquakes with different magnitudes, and see how changing factors such as the magnitude range of the earthquakes in the database file being used to display the data improve or degrade the accuracy of the data being displayed.

The Help and ReadMe files are in need of some significant updates. When everything is done, government earthquake researchers around the world should be able to focus in on their own approaching earthquakes. They can do that now using those existing files. But updated Help files will make that easier. At the moment they will need to experiment with the program when it is running to see how the different features work.

So, in my opinion, people around the world now have a way to predict their own earthquakes to some extent if they are interested in doing that. And I plan to try to update those Chart-A forecasting files as often as possible.
