Hi Jennifer.

Happy New Year!

I have checked the COLA web site and see that there is a Ubuntu compile
for  version 2.0.a3 but not for 2.0.a4.  We use the Ubuntu O/S on our
system.  Do you have a time-line for a compile of 2.0.a4 under Ubuntu?

I also use a Windows platform for some testing of model runs.  Will
there be a Windows XP  compile of a4 in the near future?



I have uploaded a Win32 build  to the OpenGrADS download area at Sourceforge:


https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=290254



Notice that this build has been labeled as v2.0.a4.oga.1 (meaning v2.0.a4 + OpenGrADS patch 1.)  In particular, the sources have been slightly patched for Windows; consult the ChangeLog for additional details. For any practical purposes it should have the same functionality as the official COLA v2.0.a4 release.


The OpenGrADS distribution of the Windows version of GrADS comes in two flavors. Most users will be interested in the Win32 Superpack, which bundles the GrADS binaries, and all else that is needed to run GrADS on Windows. (A relocatable zip version is also available for those users who do not have the necessary privileges to install software.) For those experienced users working on a Cygwin environment, a lighter weight version is also available, although it requires the same level of setup as on a Linux platform.  For  additional information, consult the wiki:

Enjoy,


       Arlindo
