Gerard,

With the fix last night, do you still have problem load the module
module.fre-nctools?

Thanks for pointing out the forecast time specified in runjob_theia.sh, I
changed it to be consistent with the baseline.

Another fix on the forecast executable is Jim Abeles are also committed to
the tag.

I am planning to commit all the changes made to the temporary beta tag to
trunk later today for Sam to add jet extension, please send me any
fix/suggestion. Thanks to all who are doing testing.
