Hi Jane,

If you switch to NetCDF for your output, then the structure of the
pickup files is *very* easy to understand.  And the reading of NetCDF
pickup files is working--people here are using it.

To get started using the MNC/NetCDF interface, please see the examples
in MITgcm/verification.  All you need to do is:

 1) add "mnc" to your current "packages.conf" file
 2) copy over one of the "data.mnc" files from the 
      examples in MITgcm/verification
 3) modify the "data.mnc" file to suit your needs

and thats it!

Ed
