A few other input variables have minor differences; please consult the m-smac User's manual or online help for further information. Users of earlier versions of medit/m-smac will note that the 'Original' designation replaces the Imperial and/or English designation. The use of Original is to reflect that the input units are in the same units as those used for the Original version of SMAC, which were not standard Imperial or English units. The Metric units designation remains unchanged from the earlier version of medit/m-smac. The program is backwards compatible and will accept any files created with older versions of medit/m-smac.
