Well if your ctl file isn't in the same directory as your grb file, that could be a source of error. To fix that you can place it in the same directory or change the path in the ctl file to match where you SampleDatasets are.<br>

Good evening to all members of this forum,<br>
-I am a beginner ...and a poor limited sailor!<br>
-Have downloaded and installed grads-2.0.x-win32_superpack.exe. under<br>
Windows XP family Edition 2002 SP3<br>
-Have downloaded the 3 suggested files from the Tutorial as per<br>
<a href="http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/tutorial.html" target="_blank">http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/tutorial.html</a><br>
-The 3 files have been installed automatically in<br>
C\OpenGrads\Classic\test_data and in<br>
C\OpenGrads\Contents\Resources\SampleDatasets.<br>
<br>
-When I run Grads and introduce the first command suggested "open<br>
model.ctl" I receive the following message "Open Error: Can't open binary<br>
data file File name = model.grb"<br>
-Have thus tried "open model.grb " and I received the following message<br>
"Scanning description file: model.grb Open Error: Can't open description<br>
file."<br>
-Any hint to help me to start is more than welcome.<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
Regards.<br>
Claude.<br>
