[CIG-SHORT] Intermediate Results

[BOK10 at pitt.edu]

Hi Charles,

It takes pretty long for a simulation to finish processing, and I was
hoping to split the simulation up into parts so I can come back to it
later. It's not a necessity, but more a convenience issue.

I think I'll just continue on with running it overnight.

Thanks,
Bobby
