To all:<br><br> This is Christopher Blossom e-mailing you on Friday, April 10, 2009 at 5:33pm. I am starting to look at the documentation in depth and I have a question already. For reading FORTRAN "sequential" unformatted
binary data files, should I use gxtran.exe? </blockquote><div><br>I see your point. The "tran" in gxtran is indeed for "translation", but not as in "FORmula TRANslation". Gxtran is an utility to display grads graphical metafiles. Binary data files written from Fortran can be read by any grads binary: grads/gradsdap in v2.0, and gradsc/gradsnc/gradshdf/gradsdods in previous versions. This recipe shows an example:<br>
