5 Control and Data Files

Table 10 shows a list of all files necessary to run CO5BOLD. Figure 6 gives similar information but is not quite up to date. Executing the makefile produces an executable rhd.exe. Its name can of course be changed afterwards. The names of the control files rhd.par, rhd.stop, rhd.cont, and rhd.dump and of the status file rhd.done cannot be changed (without modification of the source code). The names of EOS, opacity, and CO5BOLD data files can be chosen freely in the parameter file rhd.par. Table 10 only contains dummy names.
