It is always a good idea to give the URL so that someone could try to
download the same files and reproduce the problem... Also, provide the
output of "q config" and "!uname -a" so that we can know which version you
are using...

. we are trying to plot 24hrs accumulated rainfall from all 9
files.Filesare look like:

The option "byteswapped" is deprecated. Use either "big_endian" or
"little_endian", depending on the endianess of the machine TRMM used to
write the data.

So far, so good...

tdef 9 linear 00:00Z01jan1998 3hr

Why "9"? You need the enter the total number of time steps from 1998 to
2007.

Can you plot t=1 through t=9 with the template version of the  ctl?
