Ben,
	We are making progress using tigcmproc and modifying it for Mars.
We are able to run the standard tigcmproc code from sting using paths to
``bougher''.  Our next step is to modify your source code for Mars.
Initial steps along these lines is found under:
	Sting:~/diagnostic/plot/mtgcmproc
For instance:
(1) Mars has 19 fields from history
(2) Mars will plot 21 fields
(3) Similar to the tigcmproc processor, we actually read in 18 fields,
    and must construct the 19th (CO2) from the background major species
    (CO2=1-O-CO-N2). 
(4) Mars has two added fields for plotting:
    O/CO2 and UN+VN (like the tigcmproc processor)

(5) I've gone through the .f and .h files and deleted unnecessary code,
    added mods for O/CO2, and reset parameters for kmx=33, nftot=21,
    nfhist=18.

New steps:

(1) We need to obtain the source code for getgcm. Then, how do we modify
    it?
(2) Can you look over the modified files in /diagnostic/plot/mtgcmproc
    to see if they are OK?
(3) Mods are needed (in getgcm?) to construct CO2. Your help would be
    great!

Thanks for keeping us going on this!
