Hi Sergio,

Its probably not a good idea to do a cvs upgrade since there were a lot
of CPP-related changes made to the code since the last time that genmake
worked.  I would recommend that you do the following, which should be a
lot cleaner and easier:

 1) Please backup (or otherwise save) your current setup

 2) Get a fresh copy of MITgcm from CVS using the "cvs 
    current" directions at:  http://mitgcm.org/source_code.html

 3) Copy over all your code modifications (eg. "SIZE.h") and 
    input files ("data*" plus the binaries) from your existing 
    (older) MITgcm setup to the new copy you just got from CVS.  
    Your input files should work with little or no modifications 
    on the very latest version of the code.

 4) Please send any bugs/problems you encounter from step (3) 
    above to this list and we'll try to help you.

Good luck!

Ed
