Making the output useful to the wider community is one of MAG's primary
goals.
In this release MAG includes Gauss coefficients in the output file.

MAG uses fully-normalized, complex-valued spherical harmonics for its magnetic
field and other variables.
These harmonics are packed into one-dimensional arrays for optimal computation
and they are also made non-dimensional in MAG.
