<P>I just wanted to express my deepest appreciation for all the great work you have been doing on GrADS. I'm still back on version 1.9 of Grads on Windows, but it works very well. Especially the re() extension. It was so much easier to use versus all the effort to get regrid2 installed in 1.8. And the shp_lines extensions are wonderful too. Portability is a major plus, being able to run it from a flash drive or copy to a PC without having to actually touch the registry. Trasparent colors have opened a whole host of new possibilities. And the transistion from 1.8 to 1.9 is seemless. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Anyway - I just wanted to let you know your efforts are greatly appreciated. You've done a great job for the GrADS community and we all owe you a hearty 'Thank you'! </P>
<P> </P>
