increase cross section output precision

Hi,

You can try to edit the following line:

in file Template/LO/Source/dsample.f
around line 213, you have the following line:

      if (icor .eq. 0) then
         write(66,'(3e12.5,2i9,i5,i9,e10.3,e12.5,3e13.5,i9)')tmean,tsigma, 0.0,
     & kevent, nw, cur_it-1, nun, nun/max(tmean,1d-99), twgt, trmean,
     & maxwgt, th_maxwgt, th_nunwgt
      else
         write(66,'(3e12.5,2i9,i5,i9,e10.3,e12.5,3e13.5,i9)')tmean,0.0,tsigma,
     & kevent, nw, cur_it-1, nun, nun/max(tmean,1d-99), twgt, trmean,
     & maxwgt, th_maxwgt, th_nunwgt
      endif

where you can change the line formatting as you want.
Be careful that such line are also read from the code so changing them might create crash depending if you
only run the survey or not.

Cheers,

Olivier
