Hi Amber,
There’s a handy executable in the rates/test directory called show_rates that will process those binary files you’re seeing into plain text columns that you can read. Just give it the binary file as an argument and it will spit out two columns: the temperature in units of 10^8 K, and the rate.
Cheers,
Evan

As such I have specified the rate_tables and cache folder in my inlist, with the former including all the rate files and the rate_list.txt file. This has presented a few difficulties, and led to the following questions:

Can someone talk about the difference between that file (other than the obvious) and the weak rates tables (similar in format to weakreactions.tables)? Also, the info in weakreactions.tables appears to conform to the same data set as described in weak_rate_list.txt, but is not, to my knowledge, in hdf5 format.
