   That's simple enough.

   Well, the current model run (after tweaking the parameter file) was
started yesterday at 3:15 pm. Today, at 5:45 am, it is 9% complete (on day 2
of 25 days) with an ETA of 6 days and 10 hours. (The author tells me that at
some point the ETA will be reduced.)

   So, for the next run (with one different condition) I'll use screen.

Thanks,

Rich
