FEMA's Web site lists software authorized for use with its NFIP FIRM mapping program but although it lists Quick 2 version 1 when the links are navigated you end up at version 2. Both are old programs but their importance is expressed in their name - QUICK!
Quick 2 is the latest but can only be described as finicky on all current Windows platforms. It's also seems more so when loaded on computers with other Corps of Engineers HEC versions. For this reason I began using Quick 2 version 1. Version one is DOS based but is very stable and works with no clitches.
Unfortunately with the upgrade of operating systems to Windows 7 64bit Quick 2 version 1 became obsolete. Seemed a waste of a perfectly good program that did everything it was designed to do except look modern.
With a little research DOSBOX was found - it is a popular program used to play old DOS games on current systems, including 64bit Windows 7. It took very little effort to get it running and its something you may need can be downloaded here.
If this is something you need just email me..
