Howdy Kevin!

How are you doing these days? How's Dr. Perkey? Tell him I said howdy!

Try decreasing your edge and see if hat makes the "edge+start exceeds
dimension bound" problem go away.

Unfortunately I don't usually work in F90, so I'm not too familiar
with it. 

Can you send me the data file in question? (Or leave it out somewhere
on an ftp site?)

Thanks!

Ed
