How can I use fortran to read a Grads binary data file

[Heiner Körnich]

Hi Ming,

GrADS is using standard binary data. Depending on your option in .ctl,
you read it with direct access for no option and sequential acces for
"sequential" option. do you mean sequential with stream?
Details to fortran are here:
