* * * New Release of GrADS version 2.0.a8 * * *

[Jennifer Adams]

In the documentation ( http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/shapefiles.html )  
under the heading "Drawing Shapefiles", it says:
"GrADS will draw the contents of a shapefile as an overlay on top of  
an existing plot with the command draw shp. It is necessary to draw a  
plot first in order to establish the dimensions and scaling of the  
display. Shapefiles contain 2-dimensional spatial features, so your  
plot must be varying in the X-Y (lon/lat) domain."
