No problem, just use this file to provide the dimension environment. For
example, suppose your have a file called "newgrid.nc", do this

% lats4d.sh -i input.ctl -o output -de newgrid.nc  -func
're(@,360,linear,-180,1,181,linear,-90,1,bl)' -v

and file output.nc will be created. The dimension environment file is needed
to facilitate the creation of the output file. In principle this information
could be derived from the re() arguments but lats4d does not know anything
about re()...
