[gradsusr] Generating a control file with g2ctl

[Wesley Ebisuzaki - NOAA Federal]

Ethan,

After compiling wgrib2, you need to edit g2ctl.pl and change the line

   $wgrib2='(new location)/wgrib2';

To run g2ctl.pl, you type

   g2ctl.pl NAME_OF_GRIB2_FILE > NAME.ctl

Wesley

PS to see if wgrib2 was compiled correctly, type

(name of directory)/wgrib2 -config
