<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I`ve been reading the plethora of posts in this
news group, and i have decided I should give GrADS a try.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am by no means an expert in linux in fact I know
very little, but I have copies of FC3 and FC4 on disk, plus a spare pc I can
install these onto.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I`ve been a windows person most of my pc life,
enoying the simple point and click life. I guess I should get my hands dirty
with some linux.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to ingest gfs and nam grib
datasets, but the GrADS docs look rather challenging. Putting together
a ctl and index file looks confusing enough, if not mind boggling for
me!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, does anyone know of a GrADS build for FC4 or
would I be better using FC3?</FONT></DIV>
