PC*MILER|Rail v13 Workstation install fix

This patch updates and replaces your client install setup files with a network install of Rail 13. Extract these files to the \\server\[install directory]\network directory where you installed Rail 13 on your server and replace existing files.

PC*MILER|Rail v13 Override Patch and Override Files

The override feature is intended as a workaround for data corrections that would be incorporated into the next product release.

If you are interested in knowing which files are being replaced, please uncheck the “overwrite files without prompting” option in the WinZip Self Extract window.

The override files would replace the ones located in the RAILNET subdirectory of your PC*MILER|Rail Windows installation. Each file contains a number of records where a "bad" code is shown with its acceptable synonym.

The OVERRIDE.SCA file contains translations for new SCAC that PC*MILER|Rail 13 does not recognize.

The OVERRIDE.SPL file contains translations for SPLC codes that PC*MILER|Rail 13 does not recognize.

Please note that the override.SPL file that comes with this patch was found to cause a side effect on valid freight stations that shared SPLCs with some of the new freight stations in the override.spl file.

We highly recommend users to delete the override.spl file in the following location: ...\Program Files\ALK Technologies\PCRWIN13\Railnet\Override.spl

However, the patch itself is necessary for the Override.sca file to work.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and appreciate your continued support.
