[MITgcm-devel] NML_TERMINATOR

[Martin Losch]

Samar,

the NML_TERMINATOR option works only, if all namelists are terminated 
by ' &' exactly. Only if there is something like ' &end', then the 
subroutine eesupp/src/nml_set_terminator.F fails and I get the error 
messages below. (I haven't tried it on a mac, I have to admit.)

Ed,
thanks for taking care of this.

Martin
