[MITgcm-support] exf_clim question

[Patrick Heimbach]

Mike,

  read routines first try to find
saltclim.bin4 
  if it's not there, they try
saltclim.bin4.data
  then
saltclim.bin4.001.001.data
  and then give up.

If you're sure your file is there
(i.e. in the right place)
I'll check to see whether something is wrong
in exf_clim...
It's been rarely used in 3-D context. 

-p.
