Hi Chris,
Sorry I did not reply last night, I am trying a novel schedule - sleeping
at night and waking up in the morning. :-)

Here are the locations of my MC files:

/scratch/bud05/adrian/radCorFixed/run?/event.coda, where ? stands for 1 to
4 (I used 4 different random seeds).

I reconstructed them at:

/scratch/bud05/adrian/finalBLAST/run?/

Of course I used my ep_skim structure there and I never looked at lr, flr
etc. But they were created at those locations and you can look at them.

Thank you and sorry I did not get to this sooner.
Adrian
