Summary of ANNIE


NAME
       annie - Interactive hydrologic analyses and data management

ABSTRACT
       ANNIE is a program designed to help users interactively store,
       retrieve, list, plot, check, and update spatial, parametric, and
       time-series data for hydrologic models and analyses.  Data are
       stored in a direct access file called a Watershed Data Management
       (WDM) file.  Many hydrologic and water-quality models and analyses
       developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Environmental
       Protection Agency (EPA) currently use WDM files.  The WDM file
       provides users with a common data base for many applications, thus
       eliminating the need to reformat data from one application to
       another.  There is also an expanding library of subroutines for
       graphics, user interaction, and data storage and retrieval available
       to application programmers designing software utilizing WDM files.
