Please send the complete text from the grads session as well as the output from 'ncdump -c' on your file. Also, you could use a descriptor file to open this file. The sdfopen code is almost completely different from version 1.8 and 2.0 -- we have tried to make it as backwards compatible as possible, but there are some files that can no longer be opened with sdfopen. </div><div>--Jennifer</div><div><br></div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div bgcolor="#ffffff"><div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div><div><font size="2" face="Arial">In my old PC (32-bit system, Windows XP Pro), in which I had installed Grads-1.8sl11-win32e, I could open all NETCDF files regardless the number of coordinates in the netcdf file.</font></div><div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div><div><font size="2" face="Arial">Any idea ?</font></div><div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div><div><font size="2" face="Arial">Thanks a lot, regards</font></div><div><font size="2" face="Arial">Kostas</font></div>_______________________________________________<br>gradsusr mailing list<br><a href="mailto:gradsusr@gradsusr.org">gradsusr@gradsusr.org</a><br><a href="http://gradsusr.org/mailman/listinfo/gradsusr">http://gradsusr.org/mailman/listinfo/gradsusr</a><br></div></span></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div>--</div><div>Jennifer M.
