Known Bugs in the Released Version of MARK3

The version of the MARK3 program as contained on the CD-ROM published in February of 2001 contains a known problem in that the tonnages calculated when using the lognormal option are not correct.  The correct values can be calculated by taking the following equation:

Tcorrected = Square Root(Tcalculated/100)

You can also download a revised version of the program.  Please note that the download file is approximately 10.5 Mb in size and may take a significant time to download depending upon the speed of your internet connection.
