EOFGRADS PROBLEM

[Diane Stokes]

Dear Arlindo,

The eof code is written to put all it's working files in the current
directory (where grads is running).

My best guess is that you set the location of eofudf.in and eofudf.out
to be in directory /home/meque/EOFGRADS in your UDF table, but did not
change the source code (and recompile) to do the same.  If that's true,
the quickest fix is to change those entries in your UDF table to point
to simply:

eofudf.in
eofudf.out

rather than prepending a directory name.
