/ffile_info.f90 -- very different, call this ffile_infoActors?
/mDecisions.f90 -- remove shouldn't need the non-sundials version
/read_dimension.-- part of read_attrb, - very different, actors doesn't use rest of read_attribute which was cut, maybe better, but then this and the other changes in it should be applied to all versions! and I don't see it called anywhere in Actors ... removed BUT SHOULD IT JUST REPLACE THE SUMMA read_dimension?
+ - also Actors assumes don't have aspect variable .. why?
+
/read_pinit.f90 -- remove
