[MITgcm-support] mnc questions

[Michael Schaferkotter (Contractor)]

hi ed:

the genmake tells the story:

===  Checking system libraries  ===
  Do we have the system() command using pgf77...  yes
  Do we have the fdate() command using pgf77...  no
  Do we have the etime() command using pgf77...  yes
  Can we call simple C routines (here, "cloc()") using pgf77...  no
  Can we use stat() through C calls...  no
  Can we create NetCDF-enabled binaries...  yes

'no' to 'Can we use stat()...'.

the mnc_max_fsize should have been set to around 20MB. i/m trying to get one set of variables per dump per .nc file.

the remark about the .nc files being the same size was in regard to the fact that i had altered mnc_max_fsize and the 
'before' and 'after' sizes didn/t change. now we know why...because 'we cannot use stat() through C calls...'.

am i now to point of customizing the mnc pkg code?
