Dear Mr Arlindo,<br><br> I use window version of GrADS for my work. I was<br>very excited with this new build. Regretably, by<br>following your installation instruction in a separate<br>directory, GrADS did not appear at all </blockquote>
<div><br>What do you mean by that? The Graphics window did not appear, or even the command line did not appear? Can you get it to work in batch mode? Say,<br><br>1) Start the windows command line<br>2) cd C:\PCGrADS\win32 (or to wherever you installed it)<br>
3) grads -b<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">even after<br>opening the Xming first.</blockquote><div><br>If you start Xming first make sure you set your DISPLAY variable accordingly.

[By the way, I still keep my<br>MicroImages X server and GrADS Version 1.8SL9 intact<br>in its original installed directory.] </blockquote><div><br>Xming is way better than the Microimages server (which is based on X11R5).<br>
However, if you start the Microimages server and set<br><br>set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0<br>grads<br><br>it should work as well. It is better to make sure you have only one X server running at a time.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I don't know<br>why. Hope you can help.<br></blockquote><div><br>I need to know your version of Windows, whether or not you have the Windows Firewall on, and the kind of anti-virus software. I am very limited as to the different versions of Windows I have access to, so I need user feedback. I am hopeful we can work out these glitches.<br>
