I'd like to write a rainfall interface file outside of SWMM to facilitate use of hundreds or thousands of rain gages. The rain.c documentation explains the format, but I end up with an unreadable file. When I compare my file with one saved by SWMM, there appears to be a difference after the 14-byte file header and before the gage metadata section. Perhaps this stems from my misunderstanding of what is meant by "(MAXMSG+1 (=80) bytes)". Given that MAXMSG=1024, this would appear to be equivalent to (1025 (=80) bytes), which I cannot understand. Should the station ID be 80 bytes? Is the length of the gage metadata section 14 + 92 x number of gages? Should the starting byte for the first rain data record be 14 + 92g + 1? Is there example code that writes a rainfall interface file from a text rainfall file?
// The layout of the SWMM binary rainfall interface file is:
// File stamp ("SWMM5-RAIN") (10 bytes)
// Number of SWMM rain gages in file (4-byte int)
// Repeated for each rain gage:
// recording station ID (not SWMM rain gage ID) (MAXMSG+1 (=80) bytes)
// gage recording interval (seconds) (4-byte int)
// starting byte of rain data in file (4-byte int)
// ending byte+1 of rain data in file (4-byte int)
// For each gage:
// For each time period with non-zero rain:
// Date/time for start of period (8-byte double)
// Rain depth (inches) (4-byte float)
