Re: Correcting rainfall figures
The built-in facility for editing today's rain (on the Edit menu) might have worked, but changing units causes lots of problems (as warned) and I don't know if the editor would have coped. Now that it's the next day, you can edit the total in dayfile.txt (using the built-in editor). Other files (e.g. yesterday's rain in today.ini) and high records may also be affected, if so you'll need to edit those as well.
