[gradsusr] time format

[Simon Kiertscher]

Dear Yaqiang,

thank you for the information, where can i find the GrADS conventions to 
know which  format is ok,  and which not?
I'm very new to GrADS, so can you give me a source where i can find a 
example of a control file? I have no idea how to do that.

Best Regards,
Simon
