[MITgcm-support] MITgcm online tutorial problems

[Jonny Williams]

Hi Martin

Thank you for that. I am running testreport now and it seems to be working
OK.

I have checked out MITcgm_contrib using "cvs co -P MITgcm_contrib" but it
does not contain high_res_cube or quarter_degree_global. Am I checking out
the wrong version?

Many thanks for you help again!

Jonny
