[gradsusr] Drawing Shape Files

[Andrew Revering]

Thanks for the link Stephen.
I tried the file but still doesn't draw. On the same map I used Admin98 and
it drew the Yukon Territory no problem. I also tried putting these shape
files into the same path as admin98 but no luck.

open gfs003.ctl
Scanning description file: gfs003.ctl
Data file gfs003.grib is open as file 1
LON set to 0 360
LAT set to -90 90
LEV set to 1 1
