Fw: Problem Finding UDUNITS.DAT in Windows XP Environment

[Brent Frakes]

For those of you who were not able to figure the udunits.dat problem, here
is some extra help (I finally figured this out):


1.  Select Start-->Control Panel-->System-->Advanced-->Environment
Variables
2.  Add New System Variable called GADDIR
3.  Set Path to C:\Program Files\PCGrads\dat

Note: Step 3 is where the UDUNITS.DAT file is located

I am also running into the problem of getting PCGRADS to find the
UDUNITS.DAT file when attempting to read a NetCDF file.  I am running GRADS
in the Windows XP environment.  Please note that I have read the listserve
archive of advice and have

"put my data files (udunits.dat, fonts, etc.) into a directory (AKA
"folder"),
pointed my GADDIR environment variable at that path, and started GrADS."

but am still having problems.  Has anyone else solved this riddle?  Am I
missing a step?


Other things I have tried:
1. Removing and reinstalling
2.  Removing any reference to the PCGRADS in the the registry




Thanks
Brent
