Hi Alistair,

Yes, testscript and testscript2 are nearly identical.  The latter is
just a quick hack that I used and then abandoned in preference to
testreport which is documented at:

  http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/devel_HOWTO/html_onepage/

Please try testreport and let me know how it works for you.  We should
probably delete testscript2 and replace it with a tiny script that calls
testreport but, by default, turns off the email option.

Would that work for you?

Ed
