MFhilo Installation in PCGRADS 1.9 rc1

Hello -

I need some help installing libmf.gex (Mike Fiorino`s Collection of GrADS
Extensions).

I'm using grads-1.9.0-rc1 for Win (the zip version not the super pac)

I go to the Wiki page:  http://opengrads.org/doc/udxt/libmf/

Which directs me to the download page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?
group_id=161773&package_id=256757&release_id=589460

There are a variety of 6 OS's to choose from - none of which is Windows
based.  So I select the 'Platform Independent' option and download the
gzip tar file.

Upon inspecting it's contents there doesn't appear to be any .dll names
like 'libmf.gex' or  mfhilo....   making me wonder whether I'm in the
right place.

So I inspected my existing GrADS installation:
C:\Program Files\PCGrADS19\win32\gex

I notice the 'gex' directory which has 4 subdirs (c, dods, hdf, nc, nc4)
under it all of which appear to have some user defined functions already
in them (like fish, gxyat, libbjt, re, shape, etc....).

The installation instructions don't seem to jive with my installation (it
appears to target only unix users). Any help would be greatly apreciated.

I know, I could just download Grads version 2.0 and be done with it, but
that would rob me of the experience of actually installing the extension.
I like to learn.

Thanks,
Mark
