QuikGrid may be used under Linux/UNIX by using the WINE windows
emulator. To install it run the qgrid54.exe installation program under
WINE. I have tested QuikGrid using WINE releases 0.9.46 (Nov/2007) and
more recently using 1.1.31 (Dec/2009) under Ubuntu(Debian) Linux.
Use of the help facility is limited under WINE.

www.perspectiveedge.com name.) A title command can now be used in
command files. The length of speed arrows for meterorological displays
can be controlled.
Version
5.3 includes the following change:
Version 5.3 corrects an error in the grid

points and grid intersections are left undefined). My thanks go to Matt
Gessner, a software
engineer from Ohio for identifying and correcting this bug.
