Windows: Strange Endian Error

[Davide Sacchetti]

It' strange: "options little_endian" should be correct for grads 1.8
you could check two things:
      * if your ctl file is a correct ASCII file for windows (different
        from ASCII file fro unix)
      * if ctl doesn't have any TAB inside
Bye bye
