Should the same run of the example view the files and then load them back in? versus trying to read in a data file from another run that may not even have been created before and even if it was, the file was definitely created in a different directory? I think that if you want to do this kind of test the same example must first write the file and then read it back in. Cannot assume any relationship between different runs of tests with parallel scheduling. Barry
