-<P>
-   <em class=program>dart_ncommas_mod</em> provides a consistent collection 
-   of routines that are useful for multiple programs e.g.

-<div class="top">[<a href="#">top</a>]</div><hr />
-<H2>NAMELIST</H2>
-<P>There are no namelists unique to this module.
-It is necessary for this module to read some of the ncommas namelists,
-and so they are declared in this module. In one instance, DART
-will read the <em class=code>time_manager_nml</em> namelist and <b>write</b>
-an updated version to control the length of the integration of ncommas.
-All other information is simply read from the namelists and is used
-in the same context as ncommas itself. The ncommas documentation should be 
-consulted. <strong>Only the variables of interest to DART are described in
-this document.</strong>
-<br />
-<br />
-All namelists are read from a file named <em class=file>ncommas_in</em>.
-</P>

-<div class=indent1><!-- Description -->
-<P>
-   <em class=program>dart_to_ncommas</em> controls the model advance of LANL/ncommas
-   by creating a <em class=code>&amp;time_manager_nml</em> in 
-   <em class=file>ncommas_in.DART</em> <strong>IFF</strong> the DART state being 
-   converted has the 'advance_to_time' record.
-   The <em class=file>ncommas_in.DART</em> must be concatenated
-   with the other namelists needed by ncommas into a file called 
-   <em class=file>ncommas_in</em>&nbsp;. We have chosen to store the other 
-   namelists (which contain static information) in a file called 
-   <em class=file>ncommas_in.part2</em>. Initially, the 
-   <em class=code>time_manager_nml</em> is stored in a companion file called 
-   <em class=file>ncommas_in.part1</em> and the two files are concatenated into
-   the expected <em class=file>ncommas_in</em> - then, during the course of an
-   assimilation experiment, DART keeps writing out a new 
-   <em class=code>time_manager_nml</em> with new integration information - 
-   which gets appended with the static information in 
-   <em class=file>ncommas_in.part2</em>&nbsp;
