[Radiance-general] water any news ???

[Greg Ward]

Hi Sotiris,

This is not really your fault, as there is a limit of 2048 input  
columns to the "total" command I neglected to consider in the  
original post.  I did not try this command in advance, and made  
subsequent modifications to rtcontrib that make the calls to "total"  
superfluous.  If you look at my Nov 17, 2007 post on the same thread,  
you'll see a different version of the rtcontrib command that uses the  
new -c option in lieu of calling "total."  Use this method instead.

-Greg
