Re: Changes to system?

Hi Carl,

I've been noticing similar issues with the convert command (run via
system() calls) in 6.1.0 that weren't present in the beta as well. I have
yet to do a thorough trial and error processes, but my errors do fall in
line with the description you provided (having a directory vs. no
directory). I just tried to duplicate this via a command-line NCL session,
but with no success, not sure why.

I can verify that this is an error (for me, every time) regardless of
whether the script is run from a command or via crontab, and that
everything works fine in 6.1.0-beta.
