[gradsusr] Mac OSx grads v2 not working with ARWpost ctl file

Tue Aug 17 07:35:34 EDT 2010

Hello,

I have grads v2 installed on Mac OSx.  The .gif image I attached displays the smeared output.  Below are the output from q config and the set gxout stat.  I have attached a .log file with the ncdump -h of a wrfout file.  To my knowledge there is nothing wrong with ARWpost because the .ctl file that I am using works well with grads 1.9 on a local Linux box.  J
