[OpenMadrigal-developers] new global search report (fwd)

[Shunrong Zhang]

Bill,

When you update Hyperion with the newest version of Madrigal, could you
consider also update the output format issue for the global search that I
mentioned sometime ago (see below)? Thanks!

Hi Bill,

I've checked the new global search and shown the new report format to
John.

The 'assmued' characters issue, the UTH bug are nicely solved. The html
scripts and the info between two experiments are removed. These are great
for serious analyses. 

As the report will be used by Fortran programs, and maybe by matlab as
well for data presentation, we tend to like a simpler format, although we
can live with this current format that will add some comlexity for Fortran
(and matlab) coding. It'd be better to remove the blank line between two
experiment data blocks. The info before the parameter mnemonics table
isn't necessary (In fact, it repeats what has been shown in the email
informing the availability of the report) and makes difficult for
automatic reading by Fortran without a common line of statements
(characters) marking the start point of data. That may be the case for
matlab too.

So it would be nice for the report file to have only one line for
mnemonics (the first line), and others lines are simply data without blank
line in between.

Thanks!
Shunrong
