[MITgcm-devel] error messages in exf_check.F

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi,

Following lizhiyuan email (sent today to support, see below),
I took a look at pkg/exf/exf_check.F and realised
it would be a good thing if the error report was done
the standard way, with a (short) error message in STDERR.

Now I don't know all the subtile feature of pkg/exf, so if 
every one who did contribute to this routine could make an effort
to improve the error messages, it would be nice.

Also, regarding revision 1.11 (June 11, 2008, from Gael)
with this check-in message: 
 "Adding a capability to exf: read ice area from file.")
is just to putting back the bug that was removed the day before,
check-in from Martin, June 20, 2008:
 "fix small bug in error check, as reported by Wentao Liu"
 
Thanks,
Jean-Michel
