[gradsusr] how to convert netcdf file to grads data file

[Kishore Babu]

Dear Jeff,

   Yes, we can open .nc file with sdfopen in GrADS.  But, I need .dat file
in other applications. Do you think .nc file and .dat files are same?
netcdf file is self-described and .dat file needs descriptor file. Is it?
