choose. simply put. any default value in the zone that has
the link will be the exact value of the zone it was chosen to link to. If
you look at it in the .inp file it makes a lot of sense. The example below
shows that the second zone has all the properties of the first zone, and any
attributes that are different are listed below the "LIKE" command. When
you define a link, the keyword "LIKE" is made in the .inp
file.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
