Yes, it is, but it can not mix between the two during one postproc run.  Konare seemed to have started the simulation using sequential and then did a restart using direct (or something along those lines).

Ok thats good but Jeremy: This Postproc is meant for both direct and sequential

 As you said i had set iotyp to 1 ( not
 intentionally)
 in regcm.in!! ,now I have just changed it to 2 and
 after a new run of one day, postproc works well.
 
 Thank you!!!

Hi Konare',

I am not really sure what the problem is, but it
seems that it has to do 
with what the actual binary file type is and what
the postproc thinks it 
is. Did you happen to change the RegCM output type
during the simulation 
(iotyp in regcm.in)?

Try starting the postproc on 1991120100 instead,
i.e. skipping the first 
file.

Dear RegCNters,

I have some problems runing postproc. Below is
          
the
      
error message and the postproc.in  It's the same
          
for
        
Chem, rad and SRF files. It seems that the date
          
is
      
not
        
read correctly.

Thanks

Konaré
