Implementing Standalone call to CreateMOCGrid()

MOC_GridDlg.cpp has a method called CMOC_GridDlg::OnCalcMOCBUTTOM(). This method is printed below for reference.

void CMOC_GridDlg::OnCalcMOCBUTTON()
{
        int flag = 0;
        m_STTRun_BUTTON.EnableWindow(0);
        //      This is the function that starts the whole calculation process
        MOC_GridCalc *moc = new MOC_GridCalc;
        UpdateData(TRUE);
        m_CalcMOC_BUTTON.EnableWindow(0);
        if(moc->SetInitialProperties( m_pres_i, m_temp_i,  m_molWt_i,
                 m_gamma_i,  m_pAmb,  m_nC,  m_RWTU,  m_RWTD,  m_dTLimit, m_nRRCAboveBD,
                 m_nSLi, m_nSLj, m_vel, m_throat_CHECK.GetCheck(), m_ispIdeal));

        else
        {
                AfxMessageBox("Could not set properties");
                exit(1);
        }

        //      Set the design variable, designValues[0] and [1] to the correct values depending on the
        //      designParamtype

        if ( designParam == EXITMACH) designValues[0] = m_mDesign;
        else if ( designParam == EPS) designValues[0] = m_eps;
        else if ( designParam == NOZZLELENGTH) designValues[0] = m_length;
        else if ( designParam == EXITPRESSURE) designValues[0] = m_pExit;

        if ( nozzleType == FIXEDEND)
        {
                designParam = ENDPOINT;
                designValues[0] = m_xE;
                designValues[1] = m_rE;
        }
        else if (nozzleType == CONE) designValues[1] = m_coneAngle;

        moc->SetSolutionParameters(  nozzleGeom,  nozzleType ,  designParam,  designValues[0],
                         designValues[1], m_thetaBi);
        moc->SetPrintMode(m_print_COMBO.GetCurSel());
        flag = moc->CreateMOCGrid();

        m_CalcMOC_BUTTON.EnableWindow(1);

        if (flag && m_print_COMBO.GetCurSel()) m_STTRun_BUTTON.EnableWindow(1);
        delete moc;
        return;
}

In this issue, I will document my progress on making a "main" function which will call the CreateMOCGrid method in linux, and produce the same output files which are generated in normal operation.

Start with MOC_GridDlg.cpp and the OnCalcMOCBUTTON method to trace the inputs passed to CreateMOCGrid(). Implement the Linux main entry point around that flow, then compare its generated files with the outputs_M3.5Perf directory. Done means the standalone Linux run produces the same output files as normal operation.
