2. Introduction • The Packager utilities are simple tools designed to collect files associated with a FRAMES module, simulation, or system to conveniently transport them to remote locations. • There are three sets of Packagers/Unpackagers: • Module – All the datasets and dictionaries around a selected module • Simulation – All datasets and dictionaries • System – All dictionaries, units, modules, and settings. No Executables/Libraries/Batch Files 2

3. Simulation Packager 1 • Choose Simulation Packager under the Tools Menu • Identify a file name with a zip extension (GWCalvert.zip). • Store in an appropriate folder, usually where the sim file is located. 3 2 3

4. Simulation Unpackager • Choose Simulation Unpackager under the Tools Menu • Identify the folder location where the zip file was stored on the new computer. • Double click the zip file to be unpackaged (GWCalvert.zip). 1 2 3 4

5. Summary • Packaged Simulations need to be unpackaged in a folder or subfolder where FRAMES 2 resides. It is best to extract the packaged simulation to a folder in C:\Program Files\FramesV2 • Presently a packaged file will not indicate which packager was used to create it. The corresponding Unpackager MUST be used to retrieve the files. Make sure that the .zip you are trying to unpackage is from the Simulation Packager, and not from any other FRAMES packager (i.e. Module or System Packager). 5
