CFD Utilities Files

EXTRACT_PEAKS Description:

For a list of files of column data, extract peak values and tabulate them.
More precisely: if the first ndim columns are coordinates (time or spatial)
followed by nfun columns of function data, write nfun peak values to one
line per input file.  This could easily be extended to (say) writing the
coordinate(s) along with the peak value to nfun output files if the peak
locations are also of interest.  Initially, they're not.

Some prompts handle the number of header lines to skip, and the names of
the functions to include in the output files.

Sample Input File of Files to Process:

   DPLR-AoA=0-pqtau-laminar-MHR-t655.dat
   DPLR-AoA=0-pqtau-laminar-MHR-t665.dat
   DPLR-AoA=0-pqtau-laminar-MHR-t674.dat
   DPLR-AoA=0-pqtau-laminar-MHR-t680.dat
   DPLR-AoA=0-pqtau-laminar-MHR-t687.dat
   DPLR-AoA=0-pqtau-laminar-MHR-t695.dat
