Joshua,<br>

It seems that for consistency there should be a notion of "forced particle<br>
files" to parallel that of forced plotfiles, but currently there isn't.<br>
<br>
Maybe all you need to do to avoid the particle files you don't want is<br>
modify IO_outputFina.F90, which is where the forced plotfiles are usually<br>
written. Possibly just removing the line<br>
<br>
call IO_writeParticles(.false.)<br>
<br>
there will give you the behavior you want.<br>
