Converting grads binary dat to txt file

[Diane Stokes]

Dear K. Kamala,

That should work.  Perhaps you need more than the 3 decimal places you
have set in the format of your 'set prnopts' statement.

I suggest checking the range of your data.  One way is to check the min
and max values from:

set gxout stat
d myvar


   Good luck.
