[MITgcm-devel] data.diagnostics: new option for per-file output precisions

[Ed Hill]

Hi Gael, Dimitris, Andrea, & Jean-Michel,

I've added a "fileflags()" option to the data.diagnostics namelist input
that allows you to set the output file precisions (on a per-file basis)
to either Real*4 (using 'R       ') or Real*8 (using 'D       ').  The
seven blank spaces are there for future inputs (should we want them).
And I've slightly modified the dic_example test to exercise this new
option.

The default output behavior is exactly the same as before, so no changes
there.

And I've attached a quick MatLAB script that I used to compare the
diagnostics output for the dic_example case when using both R4 and R8
settings for the fields.  Everything seems to be in order but please let
me know if you spot any problems.

Ed
