Dear Henry,
There are some exmaples in your espresso directory
espresso-4.3.2/QHA/Examples

Kind Regards

"Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not
circles,and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight
line." - Benoit Mandelbrot *

The more progress physical sciences make, the more they tend to enter the
domain of mathematics, which is a kind of centre to which they all
converge. We may even judge the degree of perfection to which a science has
arrived by the facility with which it may be submitted to calculation.
Quoted in E Mailly, **Eulogy on Quetelet 1874 *
