<div>that fixes several of the issues some of you have reported:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1) Xmin should now start automatically (it did before for most people)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2) The "!" command in grads should work</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3) The "^" as in "DSET ^filename" in ctl files should work now</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4) Other niceties: Setup.exe type of installation, PATH is now set automatically, can be uninstalled by the usual Windows means.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A main change is that the suggested default installation directory is "C:\GrADS19", so that v2 could later be installed under C:\GrADS20. </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>BTW, despite the Setup.exe installation, the whole package should still be relocatable to mem stick as before. </div>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Important tip: although in most cases you can use a regular Windows file name, say</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>ga-> open c:\some\path\file.ctl</div>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>It is recommended that you replace the "\" with "/" in the directory name:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>ga-> open c:/some/path/file.ctl</div>
<div><br></div>
<div> Let me know of any problems.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Enjoy,</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div> Arlindo</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>ps: I am yet to refresh the plain cygwin tarballs. Out of curiosity: has anybody built grads v1.9.0-rc from sources using cygwin?</div>
