Karl,
   I am getting really confused about the output into members.diff... I 
am looking at it as if the (-) is what is in the old data and the (+) 
represents the new data I just put in... however... toward the end of 
the file, there are 1.20's and 1.40's in (+) columns... and I am pretty 
sure I didn't put anybody in anything except 1.00.  Also, there are 
animals in 1.40 before the groups statdate in 1989... :-\ I only deleted 
census records for grp 1.00, but for example, one individual who is 
demonstrating this is...

- FAV   | 1988-12-27 |  1.00

- FAV   | 1988-12-28 |  1.00

- FAV   | 1988-12-29 |  1.00

- FAV   | 1988-12-30 |  1.00

- FAV   | 1988-12-31 |  1.00

+ FAV   | 1988-12-27 |  1.40

+ FAV   | 1988-12-28 |  1.40

+ FAV   | 1988-12-29 |  1.40

+ FAV   | 1988-12-30 |  1.40

+ FAV   | 1988-12-31 |  1.40

The last census date for 1.00 in that month is 1988-12-21... is there 
some reason it is shoving him in 1.40 because of interp rules? He is 
still in the census in January, but that was the point at which the 
groups were switched from 1.00 (which ended 1988-12-31) to 1.40 
(starting 1989-01-01).   So, should I assume things like this, at this 
time period, are just expected diffs because of interp?

I am so confused!!
