<div>Herb,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> First things first. I converted your flat file to netcdf using lats4d on windows, using v1.9.0-rc1 on XP box:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>ga-> lats4d -i LMmaskN.ctl -o LMmaskN -v</div>
<div> </div>
<div> See if you can read it with v1.8SL11 on Vista. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>ga-> sdfopen <a href="http://lmmaskn.nc">lmmaskn.nc</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am able to read this netcdf file and see a mask inside Lake Michigan. (BTW, I used to teach at UWM in Milwaukee in the early 1990s; at the time I was doing Lake Michigan modeling and even created a Lake Michigan surface marine climatology based on a century of historical ship data. It brings memories to see a Lake Michigan plot again...)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'll follow up with the v1.9.0-rc1 debugging on vista on a separate message.</div>
