printim problem

[Karagiannidis Sakis]

Thanx. It seems however that the GrADS version 2 for windows has some
problems. In fact i can not make it work neither in native windows, nor
with an x-server. To be more specific It seems that it can not connect
to the x-sevrer. Maybe I should wait for a next release of version 2.


Thanx for everything.
