Hi Jonny,

Your model has indeed run succesfully. Unfortunately, the standard in 
the MIT model is binary output (all .data files are binary files), but 
the model has the option of choosing NetCDF output (which I would 
suggest :-) ). To enable NetCDF output, you need to do a number of things:

1) at compile time, add 'mnc' to the list of packages to compile in the 
'packages.conf' file in your 'code' directory. This compiles the 
optional package that enables the usage of NetCDF.
2) at runtime, add
2a) 'useMNC=.TRUE.,' to the 'data.pkg' file
2b) a file data.mnc which you can copy from from any of the verification 
experiments that use NetCDF output
3) on Hector, netcdf is not automatically enabled so you need to type 
'module load netcdf' before you run genmake.

I think that is all. Good luck!

Renske
