RUP VER 1.42  Notes:

Changes were made to improve the projections when complete life tables 
are used (single year mortality input), especially when they go up
to age 100+.  The complete life tables generated by the OMX output 
record were changed from a two-banked table with blank lines every
5 years to a single continuous table.  

The default interpolation of MX values was changed from linear to
log-linear.

Other changes were made to reduce the possibility of inconsistencies 
between population and death data.  First the storage of death data
was changed to REAL*8 to provide more precision. Secondly, the 
progressive rounding of deaths was changed to start from the oldest
age and work down in age.  If the program discovers more deaths than
population it will print a message and try to reallocate the excess 
deaths to the next youngest age group.

The program now zeros out the births each year to make sure no data 
is erroneously carried from one year to another.  (This sometimes 
happened when, e.g., BTH input had data for age 12 one year but 
started with age 13 the next year).

RUP VER 1.32 Notes:

- Expanded SXRB (sex ratio at birth) input to allow it to change.  Due to
  the fact that the BTH data by sex also can change the sex ratio at birth,
  if the sex ratio is being changed using the SXRB records, they must be
  in chronological order with the fertility inputs.  If the sex ratio is
  not changing it can be located anywhere in the input. 

The revised SXRB format is:

        10        20
.........|.........|
SXRB  yyyy       srb

where yyyy = the year 
      srb  = the sex ratio at birth (male births per female birth)

A warning message is issued if srb is less than 0.9 or greater than 1.2.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

- The warning message indicating that NO INTERNAL MIGRATION input was
  found in runs with a REG record has been removed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Corrected a problem which ocurred when birth data were entered for
  ages < 15.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

- The infant mortality rates presented in Summary Table 2 where modified
  to show 2 decimal places to be consistent with the values in other 
  outputs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Another parameter can be sent to the RUP program if you are running
  directly from DOS.  This parameter is a flag indicating whether the 
  output files can be deleted without prompting.  This makes it possible to
  construct bat files to re-run RUP many times without it stopping to ask
  if it can delete files or requiring the user to delete the files before
  running.  The RUP command line parameters are:

RUP infile overwrite

where infile    = the RUP input file name
      overwrite = a flag indicating whether existing output files can be
                  overwritten. A y or Y indicates it is ok to overwrite
                  the output files.  Any other value will cause the
                  program to prompt you about overwriting the files.
      
Command line           Actions
RUP                    You will be prompted for input file and warned if
                       output files exist.

RUP MYRUP.IN           Runs RUP using MYRUP.IN as the input file. You will
                       be warned if output files exist.

RUP MYRUP.IN y         Runs RUP using MYRUP.IN as the input file. 
                       You will NOT be warned if output files exist.
