<DIV>Hi Caleb,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A ctl file in indeed a description file, but the file may not be in the same directory as</DIV>
<DIV>where you started grads from. So go to that directory and check if your ctl file is there</DIV>
<DIV>and if so, if you spelled its name correctly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck,</DIV>
