ray, 

i will not be in tomorrow.  however, its really quite simple to use the mods.
i have made a directory, /dagobah/d/jackie/times/mods.  in it are
4 files:

timesgcm.eq.mods
timesgcm.eq
tssflux.11
tqrj.11

if you look through subroutine qrj9 in the mods file, you will see
that tqrj.11 is opened in it.  tqrj.11 contains the wavelength bins,
and variables which are defined in the data statements (rlmeuv, brn2,
bro2, sigeuv, sigmas) for the 11 wavelength bins.

similarly, subroutine ssflux9 in the mods file opens and reads the file
tssflux.11 which contains the variables defined in the data
statements in ssflux for the 11 wavelength bins.

when we decide that these (or other ones) are the bins to use,
i will change these to data statements and not read in the files. in the 
meantime, though, while things are changing, it is
easier to read in the files.

so, in order to read these files, you must add two lines to
your timesgcm.eq file:

rcp dagobah.hao:/d/jackie/times/mods/tssflux.11 .
rcp dagobah.hao:/d/jackie/times/mods/tqrj.11 .

you can look at my timesgcm.eq file that i have included in this directory
if you have questions.  i have run the program from this directory to
make sure that all the files are correct, and i have also shown it to ben
in case you have any questions.  it seems to run without a problem now,
and the output files look ok.  

i will talk to stan on tuesday to see if he
has any better ideas for wavelength bins.  if you think these 12 wavelength
bins give reasonable results, perhaps then i should keep deleting a bin
until the results are no longer adequate, so we have the minimum number of
bins necessary.  

if you wish to see what the bins are, the first 12 numbers
in tssflux.11 and tqrj.11 are the long wavelength end of the bins, and the
next 12 numbers are the short wavelengths, with the lines placed to match 
those from the long wavelength end (the same as for the 59 wavelengths).

ben knows where the files are, so please ask him 
if you have trouble getting them.
i really hope this runs! -- jackie
