[gradsusr] Help to make GRADS control file from WRF model output

[Jeff Duda]

ARWPost is getting pretty old and I believe is not supported or is
deprecated. The new standard post processor is the Unified Post Processor:
http://www.dtcenter.org/upp/users/index.php

You'll need both netCDF and GRIB file format support to use it.

Additionally, I wrote a FORTRAN program awhile back that can generate
control files by reading a WRF history file in netCDF format. I can pass
that along if you wish.
