Assistance with binary file

[zilore mumba]

Hello Grads Users,
Assistance is sought for displaying a field in binary
format written from FORTRAN. I have attached to this
mail a segment of the fortran code where the writing
is effected. I have tried two ways of writing the
data. Also attached is the control file.

When I open grads it is able to open the data file
msl.grb but the display gives a map of Africa with two
vertical lines on each side of the map. I have tried
all the five options in the ctl file. Some options
give a map filled with some bizarre patterns.

I am working in both Windows and LINUX platforms.

Incidentally I have some programs I wrote (in binary)
a few years ago (random gneneration of cyclones) which
were able to display in grads but which this time do
not even open the data file.
Any assistance will be highly appreciated.
