Save MODFLOW Text Files

GMS uses a modified version of MODFLOW that will read data stored in HDF5 files. HDF5 files are binary files that are much faster to read and write than native text MODFLOW files. However, if you need to give your MODFLOW simulation to someone that is not using GMS or you are archiving your model and want to save it in native MODFLOW text format you can do this quickly and easily in GMS.
