Re: Changes to system?

Hi Carl/Kyle,
Try adding a delete(wks) call when you are done writing to your
workstation to see if that clears the problems up. This fixed some
errors for me when I was calling convert using the system command.

 From my understanding deleting the workstation prior to a
system("convert...) command at the end of your script was never enforced
(but highly recommended) in previous versions of NCL. It is now enforced
with version 6.1.0.

If that does not fix the issue please let ncl-talk know..
