    For those who are curious about ncgm2gif, the following URL may help:
      http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ng/faq.html#ConvertGif

    As to your question: the message "ncgm2gif: command not found" is issued
    by your shell, indicating that the location where 'ncgm2gif' lives is
    not in your path ($path shell variable and/or $PATH environment variable),
    or 'ncgm2gif' is in your path, but you haven't "told" the shell to re-examine
    its variables and find new commands.

    Please make sure that 'ncgm2gif' is in your path setup, and after that,
    issue the command 'rehash' at your shell prompt. **

    ** all of this assumes a c-shell or variant. If you're running a 'sh'
    shell or similar, you'll still need to make sure 'ncgm2gif' is in your
    path, and then execute ". .profile' for your $PATH variable to find the
    new command.

    -Rick.
