- get mechanism from MCM:

  - open MCM web page:
    http://mcm.leeds.ac.uk/MCMv3.3.1

  - search for one or more species (e.g., C5H8 and/or limonene) and
    click on "Mark"

  - goto to "Extract" in menu

    - check that "Mark List" is okay

    - click on "KPP, experimental KPP format"

    - Include inorganic reactions?       --> YES
      
    - Include generic rate coefficients? --> YES

    - click on "Extract" button

    - save file, e.g., limonene.kpp

- run conversion script, e.g.:

  ./xmcm2mecca limonene.kpp

- define the resulting *.spc and *.eqn files in a batch file, see e.g.
  limonene.bat:
  
  set gasspcfile = eqn/mcm/limonene.spc
  set gaseqnfile = eqn/mcm/limonene.eqn

- run xmecca, e.g.:

  xmecca limonene

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Mark List for terpenes.kpp:
  C5H8 APINENE BPINENE CH4 HCOOH ACETOL MGLYOX PAN

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- create all.spc:

  - open MCM web page:
    http://mcm.leeds.ac.uk/MCMv3.3.1
    - Browse -> Check all -> Add Selection to Mark List
    - Extract -> Molecular Weights for all species in a subset -> Extract
    - Save As: all_mass.txt

  - convert to all.spc:
    ./create_all_spc.py
