Hi everybody,<div><br></div><div><div>This is a frequent question and I'd like to contribute with a solution. I think it would be great creating a recipe for OpenGrADS cookbook about this topic. If you give me chance I can create it with some sugestions of the content of attached file:</div>

and I don't know how to convert these files in *.dat format and how to construct the *.ctl file. <br>
<br>I'd be very grateful if someone has some ideas on how to solve this.<br clear="all"><br>Cheers,<br><br>Bogdan<br><br>________________<br><br>Bogdan Antonescu<br>
