You are not misunderstanding, using lats4d is exactly<br>
what eric should do. Well, at least I do that almost every day<br>
to convert binary to grid:<br>
<br>
here's the command I use<br>
<br>
lats4d -v -i input.ctl -o output.grib -format grads_grib -ftype ctl -grid
gaussian -table my_table<br>
<br>
Of course you gonna need a grib table for that.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<br>
If you haven't already, maybe you should take a look at the<br>
documentation for <a href="http://lats4d.gs">lats4d.gs</a>, available in the
grads scripting libraries.<br>
There's an option -format grib, which apparently tells lats4d to write out <br>
a grib file. I've never tried this, and I may be misunderstanding<br>
what I'm reading, but it could be worth a look.<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>
<br>
Eric<br>
