there any way withing gradsdods, to check for the existance of a file without
doing an sdfopen? I have constructed a script that creates a series of GFS
ensemble plots from the NCEP NOMADS DODS sites. The different ensembles
are in different files and the DODS references are posted over a span of
many hours (and many hours after the regular ftp files are available from
NCEP). If I submit an sdfopen command against a file that does not
yet exist, gradsdods does a hard abend. I am using version 1.8SL10 on
both Solaris and Windows.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
