[gradsusr] txt to dat/bin file

[Charles Seman]

See Hai Ooi and Fadzil,

Don't think I can be of much help here.  I downloaded See Hai Ooi's 
attached files, and could not view sd1.gmf (what type of file is 
this?).  Also, made a local version "sd_local.ctl" but again could not 
open the binary data file sd.dat in GrADS.  Don't know if data written 
on a Windows computer can be read on a non-windows computer?
