Hello,

I recently tried to recreate one of the example models given in the 4th
MESA paper as a match for the lightcurves of SN 1999em.  I used the
example_make_pre_ccsn and example_ccsn_IIp inlists and modified the
parameters to match those given for the 16 solar mass model.  The resulting
model produced lightcurves similar but not identical to those presented in
the paper, and notably had a radius at explosion of 807 Rsun compared to
the 759 Rsun given, as well as a core mass of 2.06 Msun compared to the
1.58 Msun given.

Are these differences to be expected given that I am using the 10398
release as opposed to the 10108 in which the models were originally run, or
should I be concerned about other problems with my inlists.

Thanks,
Wilson Ricks
