[gradsusr] how to make descriptor file

[Sagar P Parajuli]

Hi Wendi,
you have to write a control file for opening netcdf files that don't follow
coards convention. The control file should contain description similar to
the following script:
dset ^./Sagar.clm2.h0.2003-01-01-00000.nc
dtype netcdf
options template 365_day_calendar
tdef time 365 linear 1JAN2003 1dy

You have to check the content of netcdf file (such as using ncl) and write
the control file accordingly. You have to use 'xdfopen' or simply 'open' to
open such control files. Details of xdfopen can be found in grads page.
