"GRIP" should read "GRIB". I thought spell-checking was off. I hope it is
now...

By the way, the world chart you see is built into Viewfax. Viewfax is
incorrectly interpreting the file you renamed and trying to display it on
top of its internal chart. As others have mentioned, you can get the
grips from saildocs.com in the appropriate format. send an email to
(topic, body ignored) for the formatting details. The
newer versions of Sailmail have built-in query-formatting capabilities.

Many other charting programs have native grip-viewing capabilities, also,
but viewfax is pretty simple and good.
