Dear Win32 GrADS Users,<br><br> As you may already know, the Release Candidate (RC) for the next Windows Version 7 is freely available from Microsoft (as an evaluation copy until next year.) If you are one of those earlier adopters, you may want to know that the Win32 builds available from<br>
<br> <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=290254&release_id=682062">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=290254&release_id=682062</a><br>
<br>works fine on Windows 7 with a small caveat: you need to manually start the X server. Create an one-line <b>startx.bat</b> file with<div><br></div><div> <b>start c:\opengrads\contents\resources\xming\xming :0 -multiwindow +bs</b></div>
<div><br></div><div>and place it on your desktop. Click on it (just once per login) to start the X server before starting any grads executable (or you can place it in your startup folder to have it started automatically.) I'll fix this glitch in the next release.<br>
<br><div> As for Windows 7 I am not really a PC guy but this is the best Windows I've ever seen. I am attaching a screen dump of Win32 GrADS running on my EeePC netbook. Very responsive, even on this little machine.<br>
