end-of-file -- optionally there can be any number of comments written here; they are for the benefit and convenience of the user and are not read by the program.

During the run of the program, the user can communicate with and control the execution of the run. A text file named "monitor.fem" should be located in the same directory as the GeoFEST executable program. GeoFEST will check the contents of this file each time step, and take action based on the contents of this file:

OK -- continue running normally
REPORT -- write information about the current executing time step and continue running normally
KILL -- immediately stop the run without saving anything
SAVE_STOP -- stop execution and save the current simulation state to the designated backup file (or to "save.def" if none was specified)
SAVE_GO -- continue execution after saving the current simulation state to the designated backup file (or to "save.def" if none was specified)
