[FLASH-USERS] maximum number of plot files per run

Hello,

Hopefully this has a very simple resolution - the maximum number of plot 
files I get per run is
9999, so all the plot files are named with zero paddings for file # < 
9999, e.g.
"hc-rt_hdf5_plt_cnt_0057"
upto "hc-rt_hdf5_plt_cnt_9999" anything higher comes out as 
"hc-rt_hdf5_plt_cnt_****"
which I am sure has to do with an allowed length of string for the 
filename........
Do I have to  change code  in  a driver module if I want it to print , 
say 1000000 or (many) more plot files, if so,
which source file do I modify, and what is the safest (minimalist) way 
of doing this without messing up
the rest of the code?
Is there a way of getting this done by changing something in "flash.par" 
? I see in "flash.par"
the variables
basenm="hc-rt_"
which no doubt is used to construct the plot and check file names. Also 
there is
run_number="001"
is that used to set the length of the file name string somehow?
Thanks much,
Sanjib Gupta
