The trailing three arguments are directories containing results from a previous run of ''continuesoln''. The direction of continuation is determined by the order of the three previous solutions. | The trailing three arguments are directories containing results from a previous run of ''continuesoln''.

- | -up --upwards | + | Two other options related to the continuation type are |

+ | The ''-up'' option is self-explanatory. The ''-adt'' option is most important when the continuation changes //Lx//, since this will change the //x// gridspacing and consequently the CFL number. It should be safe to use ''-adt'' in other cases, too. |
