 The output from the code consists of the file \ct{CHID.out}, plus various data files that are described below. Most of these output files are written out by the subroutines within \ct{dump.f90}, and can easily be modified to accommodate various plotting packages.
 
+Some FDS results are written to ``comma-separated value'' (\ct{.csv}) files. By default, the decimal point is represented by a period and the column separator by a comma. You can change this so that the decimal point is represented by a comma and the column separator by a semi-colon by setting \ct{DECIMAL_SPPECIFIER='COMMA'} on the \ct{DUMP} line.
