Hi Roland. Thanks for the quick response. I tried running the executable using a parameter file that only included 'ActiveThorns = "Formaline"', as you suggested. This seemed to work, but the result was a new directory called 'cactus-source' that included only a handful of basic thorns:
Cactus-source-ADMAnalysis.tar.gz Cactus-source-ADMBase.tar.gz Cactus-source-ADMCoupling.tar.gz Cactus-source-ADMMacros.tar.gz Cactus-source-ADMMass.tar.gz Cactus-source-CactusConfig.tar.gz Cactus-source-Cactus.tar.gz Does this mean that Formaline didn't store the other thorns, or that they have to be dug out some other way?
