   Same file is fine.  Whatever's easier.

     Hi Tim,
     OK to all. You want the reference gamma shape somewhere special? In a
     separate file, in the gamma files?
     Cheers

     Hi Harry,
     initial look reveals patterns are very close to what I expected
     except the opposite sign and also maybe higher magnitude.  I was
     surprised to see no regions where it failed due to zero precip etc.
     Can you output the gamma shape calculated for the reference pool
     (1951-2000) i.e. the bottom of the fraction in step 43?  One field
     per month of the year would be useful.
     Cheers
     P.S. also try to name files following the same structure as the
     other variables, so pr_gamma.patterns1.dat not pr.gamma.dat

     Hi Tim,
     HadCM3 precip gamma file now awaiting shredding/awards as
     appropriate. In /cru/cruts/patterns/pr_gamma/
