Hi,

        Aaron just pointed out to me (and I checked it and confirm) that
the polarity of the magnetic field in the data file bgrid.blast which Abi
Goodhue produced is for out-bending electrons (ie opposite to the way we
normally run). So if we use this data file anywhere to analysis you must
remember to take the negative of the components or vector.

        The magnetic field points down in the left sector and up in the
right sector for in-bending electrons which is our normal operating mode.

                                                  Cheers,
                                                          Douglas
