[UW-GIS-L] confusing file

[Cathy Reidy Liermann]

Hi there,

 

I've downloaded some gridded climate data from Univ. of Delaware, and can
not for the life of me figure out how to read the file.  

 

The documentation says "Important note: all files available here for
downloading have been "compressed" under Unix in order to save space. A
single compressed file has ".Z" extension. You may need to respecify the
".Z" extension when you save a compressed file. Some of our archives also
have multiple files (such as time series) that are "tar"ed under Unix and
have a ".tar" extension. As a result, files must be "untared" and/or
"uncompressed" to return them to their original ASCII format, before they
may be used."

 

I've extracted from the .Z and the single file's extension now is .clim.
When I open it in Word Pad, it doesn't have the ascii header information.
Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Cathy
