program expandstartfi

! program which takes a GCM startfi.nc file and puts it on the
! corresponding lonxlat grid (so it can be displayed using Grads, Ferret, etc.)
! usage:
! expandstartfi  [infile.nc] [outfile.nc]
!     if outfile is not specified it is built as "infile_ex.nc"
!     if infile is not specified, "startfi.nc" is used as default

use netcdf
