Hi, Doug.

Thanks for the quick response. If there are no objections, I'll go ahead
and make the change from nEdges to nCells for all cores in the trunk by
the end of the day.

If anyone would rather that I don't change the ocean or shallow water
registry files, please let me know as soon as possible.

Michael
