Volker@47: # Use
Volker@47: To run the script you need to:
Volker@47: 
Volker@47: 1. Read the information in the script header. 
Volker@47: 
Volker@47: 1. Create a file describing your system settings and parameters. You can find an example file in the "system_settings"
Volker@47:    folder. Give a descriptive name and save it in the "system_settings" folder.
Volker@47: 
Volker@47: 2. Edit the "GHK_0.9.8e5_Py3.7.py" or the current script file with an ASCII editor and set the variable InputFile below line 281 to the filename you chose in step 1.
Volker@47: 
Volker@47: 3. Run the script "GHK_0.9.8e5_Py3.7.py" (or the current version).
Volker@47: 
Volker@47: Note: _0.9.8e5 in the script filename is the script version and _Py3.7 indicates that it is tested with Python 3.7.
