Re: ncl_convert2nc expression syntax

I was thinking that it might have to do with csh, too, but when I run the
command you suggest this is the error I get:
laura% csh -xv ncl_convert2nc
MERRA100.prod.assim.tavgM_2d_flx_Nx.197901.SUB.hdf
ncl_convert2nc: No such file or directory.

But both the data file and ncl_convert2nc exist:
laura% ls *.hdf
MERRA100.prod.assim.tavgM_2d_flx_Nx.197901.SUB.hdf

laura% which ncl_convert2nc
/Users/laura/NCL/bin/ncl_convert2nc
