Most likely the Windows compiler for grads uses 2 bytes for short
integers (AFAIK Linux's gcc compiler uses 4 bytes) in the metafiles
making the formats  incompatible.  Use   PC-GRADS's gxeps to convert
to EPS.

PS: Don't attach metafiles.  Probably only a handful of people on this
list can make sense of them.  If necessary these people will ask you
to email them.
