[ncl-install] ncl executable for 6.0.0

[Joe Grim]

Hi,

 

I have recently downloaded NCL 6.0.0 for cygwin from
http://www.earthsystemgrid.org/download/fileDownload.htm?fileAccessPointId=7
de6484a-3996-4a5b-82ee-94cbfde88bec

I have then followed all of the cygwin installation notes from
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/cygwin.shtml

This includes gunzipping and untarring a file called
ncl_ncarg-6.0.0.CYGWIN_NT-6.1_i686.tar.gz within the /usr/local/ directory

Among many other things, this creates an executable in /usr/local/bin/
called ncl.exe, but it doesn't overwrite the previous 6.0.0-beta version of
ncl (no .exe suffix).  So, if I type "ncl -V", I get "6.0.0-beta", whereas
if I type "ncl.exe -V", I get "6.0.0".  Should the executable called "ncl"
also be in the tar file?

 

I know this is a minor problem, but I spent a lot of time figuring out that
all I needed to do was use "ncl.exe" instead of "ncl".  I thought others
might run into this too.

 

Thanks.

 

Joe Grim
