[gradsusr] Gribmap

[James Burn]

Andrew
In my cron-run shell scripts I change directory to the location of the data 
first before running gridmap.

"cd $HOME/grads_etc/data " 

I've had it like this for some time, and can't remember why I did it like 
this, but perhaps it was to get around the problem you've got?

Good luck
James
