Rats! I suspect that the problem is related to the "\" in the file names, as
indicated by the grads error message:

: No such file or directoryt12z.inv

To test this hypothesis, edit the last 2 lines of your .gdf

FROM:

@ global String dset      c:\grib\hires_input\gfs_t12z.grib2
@ global String inventory c:\grib\hires_input\gfs_t12z.inv

TO:

@ global String dset  ^gfs_t12z.grib2
@ global String inventory ^gfs_t12z.inv

and if that does not work replace all the "\" with "/"

@ global String dset      c:/grib/hires_input/gfs_t12z.grib2
@ global String inventory c:/grib/hires_input/gfs_t12z.inv

One frustating aspect of all of this is that I have no such problem on my
Windows XP boxes, so I cannot perform these tests myself. Are you running
Vista by any chance?

Also, after the "g2_open" please add a "g2_verb" for extra diagnostic
messages.

BTW, are you able to display the model_25.gdf included in the data/
directory?

  Thanks,

     Arlindo
