There are also some new options for 'set sdfwrite', the command for configuring the netcdf output files. </div><div><br></div><div>The GrADS downloads web page (<a href="http://iges.org/grads/downloads.html"><font color="#001fdf" style="color: rgb(0, 31, 223); "><u>http://iges.org/grads/downloads.html</u></font></a>) has been updated with links to the source code and pre-compiled binaries for 64-bit linux and Mac OS X.
