Error in data desriptor file in Win32e version of Grads

[Davide Sacchetti]

My guess is that you may have inconsistencies between ASCII files (.ctl)
on alpha VMS and windows.
You could try do move .ctl from win to alpha via ftp (binary) and get
them back again from alpha to win via ftp (ascii): if it works this is
the case.
Bye bye
