The eofgrads package uses the grads classic UDF mechanism --- you can ignore
the UDXT mechanism. (As far as I know the EOF package has not been ported as
a dynamic UDF.)

You will need a fortran compiler on Windows, or someone to have it compiled
for you. Besides commercial compilers,  you should be able to install
gfortran or even g77 with the cygwin environment (http://cygwin.com).

BTW, we have a very easy method for computing EOFS with the Python interface
(PyGrADS). Here is an example:

 Unfortunately,  I still need a couple of adjustments for it to "work out of
the box" on Windows.  It should work on Linux, Mac OS, though.
