[RegCNET] seek help on SGI platform

[XUNQIANG BI]

Hi, Rajesh:

In ICTP, there is no access to SGI (Origin, Octane, or other
O-seris compters). So the following suggestion is just based
on my previous experiences.

In terrain.f (under RegCM/PreProc/Terrain)
bdyin.F, init.F and param.F (under RegCM/Main)

There are some lines commentted by C_sgi, please pay attention
to these lines, and you need make the code change around these places
if necessary.

To fix your stacksize problem, you need "limit stacksize unlimited"

To fix your cpp problem, you need type
     which cpp

after find the right path, you replace the path in the scrpits under
RegCM/Main/0options with the right path you found.

Again, my experiences to SGI O????? computer might not suit for
the latest configuration of yours. So my above comments are just
some suggestions to you.

Good luck !
