Sure, or I can just move the grid files, but in either case it  
requires cleaning up after the run.

My point is that I run the gcm from an "input" directory, and put the  
output in the "results/runA", "results/runB", etc directories.  The  
"input" directory is the launching point for the different results, so  
if "runB" has a different grid than "runA" I've lost the information  
for "runA" if I didn't clean up in time.

I do this because running the input and output in the same directories  
makes it really hard to make a new set of runs without copying all the  
output files into the new run directory. However, I'm starting to get  
the feeling I'm the only one who does this.

Thanks,  Jody
