<P>I tried taking Grads completely out of the PATH using Control Panel>System>Advanced>Environmnet Variables> so there is no instance of Grads present.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Then in the .bat file I use to start-up Grads, I configured it as follows:<BR></P>
<P>set PATH=c:\Program Files\OpenGrADS\Contents\Cygwin\Versions\2.0.a7.oga.2\i686;%PATH%<BR>set PATH=c:\Program Files\ImageMagick;%PATH%<BR>grads -blc 'test_script.gs'</P>
<P> </P>
<P>When I run the .bat file, grads run fine but imagemagick hangs</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Then if I reconfigure the batch file as follows (to point ot the Grads 1.9 installation) all works fine:</P>
<P> </P>
<P>set PATH=C:\Program Files\PCGrADS19\win32;%PATH%<BR>set PATH=c:\Program Files\ImageMagick;%PATH%<BR>grads -blc 'test_snow7.gs'</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I get the same results when I configure the PATH through the Control Panel (first pointing to 2.0.a7.oga.2 and then Grads 1.9) </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Next</P>
<P>with no version of Grads specfiied in the Control Panel>....Environment Variables></P>
<P>and with a shortcut pointed to Grads 2.0,</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I start Grads 2.0 up and try </P>
<P>! ls</P>
<P>It hangs.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I try the same thing with another shortcut pointed to Grads 1.9</P>
<P>and I get a directory listing </P>
<P><BR>Hmmm</P>
<P> </P>

<P>Hi Arlindo,</P>
<P>Interesting.....</P>
<P> </P>
<P>If I start Grads then type in: </P>
<P>! ls <cr></P>
<P> </P>
<P>Grads just hangs. No answer set is returned. I presume a directory list should appear. But instead nothing....</P>

<DIV>Hmm... It works OK on my Windows platform. Anybody out there having similar problems on Windows?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I wonder if your GrADS v1.9 installation is not conflicting with your GrADS v2. Do you explicitly set any GrADS environment (GADDIR, GASCRP, etc.)? Is the v1.9 bin/ directory on your PATH? Did you use the .exe or .zip version of the superpack? </DIV>
