Dear Arlindo and others,<br>
<br>
I installed the OpenGrADS bundle 2.0.a9.oga.1 on Windows Vista. After starting opengrads, the program opens a display, but then automatically quits with an "[EOF]" message. See the output below.<br>
<br>
I am running cygwin on my computer, so I first tried the OpenGrads package for cygwin-users, but also installing the superpack and running opengrads with XMing gave the same result. I have an earlier version of opengrads (v2.0.a7.oga.3) installed which works fine.<br>
<br>
Can anybody help?<br>

><br>

> Caveat: as COLA is yet to publish the official API for User Defined<br>
