Description

Currently files.py within the mccsearch module uses a legacy (incorrect) fortranfile.py (0)... which hails from the now deprecated rcmet fortranfile.py (1)

We need to make a determination as to how this should be upgraded.

In particular, we use the following functions

• fortranfile.FortranFile(fileName, mode='w')
