<P>Another finding:</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I have both the 1.9 and the 2.0 Grads installtions on 2 different flash drives.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I went to a computer that has never had Grads installed, plugged in the 1.9 flash drive and fired up grads, then ran</P>
<P>! ls </P>
<P>and sucessfully received a directory listing. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Did the same thing with the Grads 2.0 flash drive (on the same computer) and also received a directory liating.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>To me that suggests that indeed there is some sort of conflict occurring on the machine that has previous grads installations. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>I went back to the machine that is having problems and pulled wgrib out of the path too (along with all grads path variables). </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Plugged in the 1.9 flashdrive and got a Directory list, but still no luck with the 2.0 flash drive.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I also have version 1.8 installed on that machine and am thinking that maybe when I installed it I used the installer version instead of the zip installtion, and that maybe some remnants are still lurking in the registry that might be causing a conflict. That's purely a guess though. Not even sure that would make a difference. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Any other suggestions? <BR><BR></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>
