[Gmsh] Problems with gmsh

[Ashley Samuel]

Hello,
  Thank you very much for your response.  I have another question, I found a tutorial which lists a program which will convert a .msh file to a .dat file, called gmsh_tet_to_r3t.exe.  I cannot seem to find this program anywhere, can you please tell me where I can find it?  Thank you very much.

Hello.  What you're describing seems like the behaviour I expect from Gmsh.  Why do you expect a header?  I think the operating system will know the date and time of last modification; or you could add a comment manually if it's the time of creation that's to be preserved.
