========================                                                        
                                                                                
This file is used to define a generalised linear model for daily rainfall.      
After this header, there is a row for defining the 'trace value' threshold      
(i.e. the value such that rainfall amounts less than this will be flagged       
but recorded as zero), then one line in the file for an overall                 
description of the model (which will appear in summary output files),           
and then a row for every covariate in the model. Each of these                  
rows looks something like this:

        CODE3}     of COMPONENT: tables of codes can be found in the            
                   program documentation. CODE1 occupies positions 16-20;       
                   CODE2 occupies positions 21-25 and CODE3 occupies            
                   positions 26-30. CODE2 and CODE3 are used only for           
                   defining interactions.                                       
                                                                                
        TEXT       contains descriptive text for this covariate, and            
                   appears after position 31. It is not used by the program.    
                                                                                
It is vital that this positioning is adhered to, for each record will           
be read using the FORTRAN format I5,F10.6,3I5,A40.
