   to be done in newstart, and that these values be stored in startfi.nc
 
+== 12/03/2014 == TN
+- Added tauscaling (the conversion factor from virtual to real dust) in startfi.nc file.
+  It is needed for 3 cases:
+  1. Compute ice particles size when using microphysics on the first physics step 
+     before the call to the radiative transfer (updatereffrad)
+  2. The conversion to real dust values with newstart, to be used for the freedust mode.
+  3. It brings the necessary information for the calculation of the dust 3D opacity 
+     from start & startfi files only when using virtual dust.
+  If tauscaling is not present, the default value is 10^-3 everywhere when needed.
+  If the freedust mode is used, tauscaling is equal to 1 everywhere. 
+  Modified accordingly startfi and start_archive writing and reading routines.
