[RegCNET] File size and frequency

[Raymond Arritt]

By default RegCM writes ICBC and output files at monthly intervals. For 
very large domains this can produce files exceeding 2.1 GB which is the 
limit for many systems.  This appears to be hard-coded into various 
routines such as ICBC.f and output.F and thus is not easy to change. But 
maybe I am wrong and there is an easy way to produce new files more 
often than once per month, so that each input or output file will be 
smaller.  Does anyone have experience doing this?

Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.  Best New Year wishes to all 
the RegCM community.
