Mark,<br><br> The Win32 superpack include the extensions, no need for a separate download. However, the mfhilo extension is new (too new you may say) and has only been released with the opengrads v2.0.a5.oga.x bundles. Unfortunately, an extension written for v2.0 cannot be used with v1.9 without rebuilding and some adjustments in the source code.<br>
<br> We are contemplating another (opengrads) v1.x release which has several bug fixes we collected in the last year or so. At that time we might refresh the extensions as well. However, if you can, migrate to v2.0.<br>

Hello -<br>
<br>
I need some help installing libmf.gex (Mike Fiorino`s Collection of GrADS<br>
Extensions).<br>
<br>
I'm using grads-1.9.0-rc1 for Win (the zip version not the super pac)<br>
<br>
I go to the Wiki page: <a href="http://opengrads.org/doc/udxt/libmf/" target="_blank">http://opengrads.org/doc/udxt/libmf/</a><br>
<br>
Which directs me to the download page:<br>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?%0Agroup_id=161773&package_id=256757&release_id=589460" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?<br>
group_id=161773&package_id=256757&release_id=589460</a><br>
<br>
There are a variety of 6 OS's to choose from - none of which is Windows<br>
based. So I select the 'Platform Independent' option and download the<br>
gzip tar file.<br>
<br>
Upon inspecting it's contents there doesn't appear to be any .dll names<br>
like 'libmf.gex' or mfhilo.... making me wonder whether I'm in the<br>
right place.<br>
<br>
So I inspected my existing GrADS installation:<br>
C:\Program Files\PCGrADS19\win32\gex<br>
<br>
I notice the 'gex' directory which has 4 subdirs (c, dods, hdf, nc, nc4)<br>
under it all of which appear to have some user defined functions already<br>
in them (like fish, gxyat, libbjt, re, shape, etc....).<br>
<br>
The installation instructions don't seem to jive with my installation (it<br>
appears to target only unix users). Any help would be greatly apreciated.<br>
<br>
I know, I could just download Grads version 2.0 and be done with it, but<br>
that would rob me of the experience of actually installing the extension.<br>
I like to learn.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
