Hi John, I did try concatenating the files but that did not seem to work. I can almost get what I need by opening up the POS file in GMSH and re-exporting. My ultimate goal is to have a single file that contains both mesh information and "NodeData" information per GMSH's most recent file version. I think I can manage by writing a simple file parser. If you all end up supporting a more recent GMSH version in the future, I am happy to test it out with my workflow.
