HI Paul

I thought that I allowed for both types of run files in the code.  It did 
work here.  The if that does this is located about line 96 in 
Make_new_runset.  If it doesn't work, ship me the run that you tried it 
with and I'll work on it.

My thoughts when I wrote this proposed setup was not to eliminate either 
run or ini so that we had to depend on some gui based program to do the 
work of writing these files.  I'm with the fellow who said he'd sooner 
edit a file using a text editor than depend on point and click.  I am of 
the sort to take a stock file and cut out the verbage and the extraneous 
and save a streamlined copy for my own use.

BTW I do like the change in the way that the run works because it will 
allow us to update only one file in the repository for most users.  Next 
we need to weed out the emc versions and all of the others as well.

Thanks for looking at it.  I'm curious to know what went wrong.
