Using ncl_convert2nc

Hello,

I want to work with "ncl_convert2nc" under WindowsXP.

I have installed cygwin and so on. Cygwin is running well and NCL displays its version 6.0.0 successfully.

Now I want to convert a grib file to netcdf with your program "ncl_convert2nc".

I have placed the grib file in /cygwin/usr/local/bin/_work/baro_00h.grib.

Now I type the following command:

myUserName@computerName /usr/local
$ ncl_convert2nc /bin/_work/baro_00h.grib

But it fails like this:

Processing file: baro_00h.grib...

What is the reason?
What is my mistake?

Sincerely,
Thomas Brenz
