Add /MAX=... as a rename of /SIZE=... in SET MEMORY #1959

Closed karlmsmith closed 4 years ago

karlmsmith commented 4 years ago

(From GFDL 2019 visit) Since /SIZE=... in SET MEMORY is now a maximum allocation limit and not an actual allocation, rename this option to /MAX=... ; however, keep the /SIZE=... for backwards compatibility. Update documentation to use SET MEMORY /MAX=...

AnsleyManke commented 4 years ago

A particularly useful side effect of this will be to make the SHOW MEMORY outputs more meaningful, saying MAX= instead of /SIZE=

This is done, and checked in on the Ferret trunk. /MAX appears in error and info messages.
