[FLASH-USERS] Turn off checkpoint files in FLASH3.2?

[Sean Couch]

Hi David,

Look at Driver_evolveFlash.F90, in particularly the call to IO_output.  Comment out the appropriate calls here should give you the desired behavior.  Look especially at the calls using CHECKPOINT_FILE_ONLY.

So I'd like to turn off the initial & final dumps of the checkpoint files, because each of these takes about 10x of the space of a plot file. I can switch off the the periodic dumps (in wall-clock time, iterations, and simulation time), but I can't find where to turn off the initial dump - indeed I haven't yet tracked down where IO_outputFinal and IO_outputInitial are even called in the code.
