The getidl.csh does not work as expected on DEC platforms. To extract the tools, perform the following three steps: • Copy all .pro files to your local drive, and make the filenames all lowercase. • Copy all .hdf (that contain map and graticule overlays and land and ocean masks) files to your local drive, and make the filenames all uppercase. • Copy the ease script to your local system and follow the directions in it to set EASE-Tools environment variables. These are the steps the getidl.csh script was supposed to perform. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
