[gradsusr] time format

[Yaqiang Wang]

 time:units = "day as %Y%m%d.%f"   It does not follow GOARDS
conventions which is used in 'sdfopen' function. So you need to write
a control file to tell GrADS the dimensions and variables in the data
set. You have to use 'xdfopen' or 'open' commands to open the data
file.
