Documentation mismatch: missing IWCONV parameter and comment line in FORREAD #1

Description

@ruboerner

First of all, thank you very much for making this TEM 1D modelling code openly available. It is greatly appreciated to see such a well-established tool released as open source. This is extremely valuable for the community.

While trying to run the code after cloning the repository, I noticed a small mismatch between the documentation and the actual input expected by the main program TEMTEST.FOR.

Issues observed

  1. Missing IWCONV parameter in FORREAD
    In TEMTEST.FOR, around line 170, the program reads an additional parameter IWCONV from the file FORREAD. However, this parameter does not appear in the example input file provided in the accompanying PDF manual.
  2. Missing comment line in FORREAD
    Further down, around line 195 in TEMTEST.FOR, the program expects a comment line to be read from FORREAD. This comment line is also not present in the documented example input file.

Because of this, running the code with the example input as documented leads to unexpected read errors.

Suggested fix

• Update the example FORREAD file in the documentation to include the missing IWCONV parameter and the comment line.

Thanks again for releasing the code and for your efforts in maintaining it. I hope this small report helps improve consistency between the source and the documentation.

Best regards,
Ralph
