<blockquote TYPE=CITE>Hello,
<br>I am trying to run GrADS on Windows XP with Cygwin. I downloaded grads-

<br>and prompt. I am unable to open my data file though.
<p>When I type
<br>ga -> open /cygdrive/c/Morgan/wind22.ctl
<br>I get this...
<br>Scanning description file: /cygdrive/c/Morgan/wind22.ctl

<br> File name = fort.2200
<p>I have used these exact same files (wind22.ctl and fort.2200) on a linux
<br>machine and have no problem opening them with GrADS. I'm not sure if
I'm
<br>missing something for it to work on windows or not. My .ctl file looks
<br>like this...
