Dear Alok,

DSSAT 3.5 had been on the market for at least a decade, if I am not mistaken.

Don't you think that it would be worthwhile upgrading to version 4?

The latest version has an up-to-date GUI (with windows, clickable and stuff...), and includes also a number of changes, additions and bug-fixes (including the W2K bug - I guess version 4 never had this problem).

You might also think in terms of publishing simulation results.
I doubt that all editors or article-reviewers would still accept DSSAT-3.5 simulation results.

Best regards,
Rolf
