[ncl-install] Trying to download/install ncl/ncarg

[Jenny Fox - NOAA Federal]

I used the wget script to download the file, but when I check the file type I get:

file ncl_ncarg-6.1.2.Linux_RHEL5.6_x86_64_gcc412.tar.gz 
ncl_ncarg-6.1.2.Linux_RHEL5.6_x86_64_gcc412.tar.gz: ASCII HTML document text, with very long lines, with CRLF line terminators
