 - 'ini_h2o_bigreservoir' is renamed into 'ini_huge_h2oice'.
 - Some cleanings, in particular for the main program "pem.F90".
+
+== 04/01/2024 == LL
+Fixing a small bug: the subroutine compute_icetable was always called, even if tthe option 'icetable_equilibrium' was set to false in the run_PEM.def. It is now fixed by adding a flag before the call.
