Win32 Binaries in v1.9.0-rc1

[Stephen R McMillan]

Arlindo,

I downloaded the grads-1.9.0-rc1.win32_superpack from the website you 
listed. I had no problems unzipping it to my c:\pcgrads folder. Although I 
can run it in batch mode, I'm having problems getting it to work in 
graphics window mode.  I can launch the executable (gradsdods.exe) but the 
viewing window just disappears after I respond to the initial prompt for 
Landscape mode.

I'm running the application on a Windows XP platform, and it meets or 
exceeds all of the systems requirements.

I had no problems using the earlier (1.8sl11) win32e version, which I had 
removed to ensure no conflicts between the two. I'm thinking it may be an 
anti-virus or firewall issue, although I have both gradsdods.exe and 
Xming.exe listed in my "allowed" list.  I found no additional help in your 
notes or the Getting Started with Win32 GrADS document. Any suggestions? 
Or, perhaps another user encountered a similar problem and has a 
resolution he/she might share.

Thanks--
Stephen Mc

All,
 
  Based on early user feedback I have made some small adjustments to the 
way Win32 GrADS talks to the Xserver which should make it more stable. The 
binaries on sf.net have been refreshed:
 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=182392
 
If you have already downloaded the previous version and want a faster 
download this time, you can get only the files that have changed from here
 
    http://opengrads.org/pre-rel/win32
Replace/add these files to folder PCGrADS/win32. 
 
   Let me know if you experience any problems.
 
       Arlindo

All, 

   For those of you interested in the Win32 build made available with 
GrADS v1.9.0-rc1 I have compiled some notes here:

      
http://opengrads.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_GrADS_on_Microsoft_Windows

   Basically, most users will be interested in the "Win32 Superpack" which 
requires no installation and includes all you need to run GrADS on 
Windows, including the OpenGrADS extensions. For those of you working on a 
Cygwin environment and preferring a more traditional Linux-like 
installation, this is now a viable option as well. 

   Initial feedback indicates that the "Win32 Superpack" appears robust. 
If this remains the case a similar approach will be used to produce the 
first Win32 builds for GrADS v2.

   Your feedback is greatly appreciated. In particular I'd like to hear 
whether it works on older versions of Windows such as Windows 2000 and 
NT4, even Win 9x. Notice that this will be last release that could 
potentially support Win 9x.

   Thank you,

       Arlindo
