Win32 Superpack v2.0.a7.oga.1 Released!

[Arlindo da Silva]

Dear Windows Users,
   We have upload to sourceforge version 2.0.a7.oga.1 the *Win32 **Superpack
*:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengrads/files/grads2-windows/

(See my previous posting announcing a similar release for Linux to learn
about what is new in this release --- the Windows build has all the features
of the Linux version).

If you have the necessary privileges to install software on your computer I
recoomend the Windows installer (*-win32_superpack.exe) which will
optionally set your path and create an entry in your [Start] menu, placing
links on your Desktop. The [Start] menu entry now also includes links to the
bundled HTML documentation, with Tutorial, User's Guide and Command Index
(from COLA), and "manual pages" for the OpenGrADS extensions. Try out the
MERRA and NOMADS Browsers for a (live) graphical user interface to the MERRA
reanalysis and NOAA forecast data (GFS, NAM, RUC, Wave) through OpenDAP (a
network connection is required).

   As before, we are also including a *-win32_superpack.zip package for
those users who do not have the admin privileges to install software on
their Windows boxes.   The contents are exactly the same as the
*-win32_pack.exe package and are meant to be relocatable: copy the OpenGrADS
directory to a USB mem stick and take it on the road with you. The VBscript
wrappers at the top remain experimental; I'd appreciate any feedback from
people who actually know VBscripting.

   For those experienced cygwin users preferring a light weight distribution
(and willing to set the necessary environment variables), we are again
including tarballs with the binaries and extensions.

  This version has been verified to work on *Windows 7 RC* (Build 7100).

  Please any me know of any issues.

  Enjoy!

     Arlindo
