PC*MILER|Rail v13 Override Patch and Override Files with Connect Patch

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

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.

The latest updates for UP will stop PCRSCalcTrip from always using Interactive mode when you supply the railroad so ifRouteType is set to Auto it will look at the RouteIncEx value.

PCRSCalcAutoRoutes will force the routing type to Auto so it should be looking at the RouteIncEx value.

If you call PCRSAddAutoRouteOrig and PCRSAddAutoRouteDest without a carrier (RR) then it will not run the route when you call PCRSCalcAutoRoutes

If you need the Microsoft compatible interface, then you will also need to download the following updates. They should be extracted to the c:\program files\alk technologies\pcrwin13\connect\VC++ directory and replace existing files.
