Problems with gribmap.exe when installing GRADS on Windows

[See Hai Ooi]

Hi,

   (1) In your .ctl file, did you specify your path ?
   (2) I believe you did your gribmap in the command
prompt window.  Just key in [no .exe]

       gribmap -v -i XGFS.ctl

    cygwin can get into conflict with your GrADS.

    Hope this helps.

Ooi
