<DIV></DIV>Glenn,
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Are you actually able to run csh? What happens if you type "csh" on
the UNIX command line?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Did you make any other changes to ncl_convert2nc to get it to work?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>As a test, go back to the original "ncl_convert2nc" before you made any
changes, and execute it with:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>ncl_convert2nc
$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/data/grb/ced1.lf00.t00z.eta.grb</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Let us know what happens.</DIV>
