3. Editing the surfnet.par file

The parameter file surfnet.par contains the run parameters for the SURFNET, SURFACE and SURFPLOT programs.

It is an ASCII text file and so can be edited using any text editor.

The file contains a number of keywords, in capitals, below which the parameters are entered. The keywords are:-

  1. TITLE
  2. INPUT FILE
  3. OUTPUT FILES
  4. SURFNET
  5. SURFPLOT

Other text can be inserted anywhere in the file and will be ignored provided that it is not in the block of parameters directly associated with one of these keywords.

At the bottom of the file are various notes that can be referred to during editing.
