For the easiest method of running the program, run the SPI
program in the same directory that the input files are located.
Sample Input/Output Files
input: name.cor format Output: 3,6,9,12,15,18,24 month SPI
SPEI Program
For the SPEI, the user will need to open a command prompt window
and locate the directory that both the program and input files are
located. For this example, I had the data on my “desktop” in a folder
named “Jamaica”. The output file will be placed in this same
directory when it is created.
Sample Input/Output Files
input: name.txt format Output: 6 month SPEI
