<DIV align=left>a beginners question about the mesh file format.</DIV>
<DIV align=left>I took the first 4 lines of the elements in the tutorial t1.msh (generated under windows).</DIV>
<DIV align=left>To me it seems like elements 3 and 4 (type1) should have 3 tags but there is one number too much it seems. </DIV>
<DIV align=left>I suppose in element 3 the tags are 99, 1 and 0: what is the 1 before 5, if 5 is the node number list?</DIV>
<DIV align=left> </DIV>
<DIV align=left>Element 80 shows 6 integers after the numberoftags=3, what are the 4th and 5th representing if the 6th is the nodenumberlist?</DIV>
