I see your point. The "tran" in gxtran is indeed  for "translation", but not
as in  "FORmula TRANslation". Gxtran is an utility to display grads
graphical metafiles. Binary data files written from Fortran can be read by
any grads binary:  grads/gradsdap in v2.0, and
gradsc/gradsnc/gradshdf/gradsdods in previous versions. This recipe shows an
example:

  Good Luck,
