Thanks Jeff, I have added this to the "how to" list for getting NCL
running on a MacOSX system.
For those of who are interested in what's involved to get NCL up and
running on a MacOSX system, visit the link:
http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ncl/nclmacosx.html
Be sure to check with your system administrator before following all
of the instructions in the above URL. Some of the listed software
packages may already be available on your system.
Cheers,
--Mary
