[Ncep.list.nems.announce] NEMS/NMM-B commit Trac ticket #104

[Tom Black]

I have made one significant change in the code I plan to commit for NEMS 
Trac ticket #104.  In my original message I said the forecast would be 
shut down if a run of the NMM-B was requesting only one compute task.  
Instead I've included the modifications so that global runs can now 
execute with a single compute task.  Regional runs can already execute 
successfully with one compute task.  Below is the latest list of file 
modifications in trunk_update at the same locations as given in the 
earlier message.  The default netCDF modules on each machine may be 
used.  I will initiate regtests on tide sometime tomorrow after the 
firewall work is complete.
