[Mesa-users] Custom color file

[Rob Farmer]

Hi Susmita

>The "custom_color_file.dat" is saved in the $MESA_DIR/data/colors_data and
$MESA_DIR/colors/data directories as well as in my working directory.

You only need to have a copy in your work folder. Please delete the other
copies.

Can you please provide the history_columns file, custom_color_file.dat, and
inlists for your run.

Thanks
Rob
