[mesa-users] dynamo effect on stellar str

[Bill Paxton]

Just to clarify my previous response -- if possible, make your additions to mesa as "hook" routines in your private run_star_extras rather than changing code in star/private/files.  Treat the star/private files as read-only.  If you hit a place where you think you really must change something, let me know and perhaps we can take care of it by adding another "hook" routine so that the only change to the private mesa star routines will be to call an exterior routine that you define separately from the main star code.  If you produce something that way, it can later be integrated into the standard star code.  Until that point you can work on it privately.   

cheers,
Bill
