Hi Michael,

To use the latest genmake2, the safest thing to do is:

 1) Do a *thorough* back-up of the code and inputs that you're 
    currently using.

 2) Get a fresh copy of all the latest MITgcm code (including 
    genmake2) from CVS:  http://mitgcm.org/source_code.html

 3) Try this new version with a copy of your input files from 
    the older version.

 4) Please send any bugs you encounter to this list.


And as I mentioned in the last email, I can't guarantee that the latest
changes will work perfectly on MacOS X.  I'm looking for help testing
it.  If you wait a few days, someone will hopefully get a chance to test
it and provide some more specifics.

Ed
