 If you are on a Windows system and get a warning about the Microsoft Defender SmartScreen preventing an unrecognized app from starting, follow \href{https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-change-the-mode-of-smart-app-control-from/399a276f-5585-40fe-b72d-c014cac82b32}{these instructions} to turn the Smart App Control off. If you don't have permissions to do so, either contact your IT department to have them change the setting or use \texttt{r4ss::get\_ss3\_exe()} which seems to work in this case too.

There can be only 1 season in this time-step and SS3 will ignore month input and assume all observation occur at middle of this pseudo-year. Mortality, growth, and movement rates are per annum, so will get multiplied by the duration of this time-step as they are used. What gets reported as age is now age in time-steps; and input of age-specific $M$ or $K$ requires one entry per time-step. Similarly, output of age-specific quantities is in terms of number of time-steps, not real years. Spawn\_month and settlement\_month in control file are best set to 1.0 when doing years as pseudo-seasons.
