Hi folks --
I've updated the IDL procedures on the MESA forum,
http://mesastar.org/tools-utilities/idl
...so that a single function -- read_mesa.pro -- can now be used to read both MESA history files ('history.data') and MESA profile files ('profileN.data').
Place read_mesa.pro somewhere where IDL can find it (e.g., in your IDL_PATH search path), and then read in data thus:
s = read_mesa('file.data')
This will store the contents of 'file.data' in the IDL structure s. To list the fields of s:
help, s, /struct
cheers,
Rich
