Dear developers of Specfem3D,

there appears to be a bug in the latest devel version when using a point force source.

The line in DATA/FORCESOLUTION

	component dir vect source Z_UP:	-1.d0

does not seem to have any effect. I tested it with a Gaussian with hdur = 0.06 s, and 
both

	component dir vect source Z_UP:	-1.d0

and 

	component dir vect source Z_UP:	1.d0

However, the resulting seismograms (semv) look the same, while in reality those calculated with
the opposite sign should yield the inverted seismograms.

Could you please check that?

Thank you in advance,
Mathias Pilch
