Hi,<br>
I am trying to install subject s/w for windows xp machine. I get two folders<br>
downloaded bin and dll.<br>
<br>
<br>
When I try to run an executable from bin I get error message that a dll file<br>
was not found.<br>
<br>
The file labeled INSTALL seems to just be an info file for unix install.<br>
<br>
<br>
What do I have to do to fix this problem?<br>

It uses a traditional windows automatic installer that should get you going in less than 5 minutes. All you need is included, no need to install cygwin separately or get an X server. You will be able to run GrADS from the [Start] menu, or from an icon on your desktop (just click on Ollie, the friendly turtle.) You can download it from here:</div>
