[Mesa-users] Setting the value of omega/omega_critical

[AVG]

Hi Simon,


Thanks for your time. What I want to do is obtaining the pulsation 
frequencies of some stars at some given values of their omega (in 
different moments of each star), so I think I will have to save and 
restart as you say to be able to perform the work.


Thank you again for all!
