[mesa-users] Mesa sound speeds

[Josiah W. Schwab]

I very seriously doubt that you are actually plotting the value of a csound
column from a MESA profile file of a solar model.  Within the tolerances of
the piece of paper that I held up to my screen, the green line appears to
be straight.

If you look at the profile??.data file that you think you're plotting, do
the data points in it actually match the green points?
