Dear ferreters,
I encountered problems using my ferret scripts after moving from
version 6.40 to 6.64. The very small numbers that appear in some of
our model output (which is my ferret script input) cause an error in
ferret. To avoid the problem, they could be set to zero defining a
certain threshold. However, I preferred the previous handling without
having to use any manual thresholds - what happened? Has this been
fixed since version 6.64?
Kind regards,
Hella
