+#  filename(n) : prefix of the output file name (only 8.c long) for outp.stream n
+#  frequency(n):< 0 : write snap-shot output every |frequency| seconds
+#               > 0 : write time-average output every frequency seconds
+#  timePhase(n)     : write at time = timePhase + multiple of |frequency|
