[gradsusr] fwrite gridding issue

I really appreciate all of our help.  I'm just going to post all of my code
now.

Here is my FORTRAN code as it stands now.
      PROGRAM avg_chi
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!! This FORTRAN 77 program is used to calculate the daily mean values for
the!!
!! entire data set.  This mean value can then be used to calculate
the       !!
!! anomalies to be plotted.  First, the data are opened in their
individual  !!
!! files.  The full data set was divided into 30 files, so the
parameter     !!
!! files=32 represents those files.  The numbers are converted to string
by  !!
!! writing their values to the
string.                                       !!

Here is my GrADS script that I use to calculate the velocity potential and
then write it out using fwrite:

*##############################################################################
*# Oh boy the fun stuff.  This script opens a DODS file to get
renalaysis    ##
*# data that goes all the way back to 1979.  It looks like it updates
every  ##
*# day (e'ryday e'ryday) so it should make thing interesting.  The begin
time##
*# is 00Z01JAN1979 and the time step is 360mn (6 hours).  That's going
to    ##
*# complicate things.  I suggest cutting it off at 18Z31DEC2011, that
makes  ##
*# the final time 48212.  This is divisible by 68, 48212/68=709.  We
should  ##
*# be able to do that many calculations (hopefully).  We
can!                ##
*#
##
*# I took out the top 7 layers because the 200mb level is level 10.
This    ##
*# will make it run a little more efficient in theory.  What I should do
is  ##
*# have it just do level 10.  That would probably cut the time down a lot
