Hello,</p>
<p>
I want to work with "ncl_convert2nc" under WindowsXP.</p>
<p>
I have installed cygwin and so on. Cygwin is running well and NCL displays its version 6.0.0 successfully.</p>
<p>
Now I want to convert a grib file to netcdf with your program "ncl_convert2nc".</p>
<p>
I have placed the grib file in /cygwin/usr/local/bin/_work/baro_00h.grib.</p>
<p>
Now I type the following command:</p>
<p>
<a href="mailto:myUserName@computerName">myUserName@computerName</a> /usr/local<br/>
$ ncl_convert2nc /bin/_work/baro_00h.grib</p>
<p>
But it fails like this:</p>
<p>
Processing file: baro_00h.grib...<br/>
