[RegCNET] Conversion

[Moetasim]

According to your CTL file, you have 4x1 grid box, in contrary to your 
informtion that data has 23 rows and 4 columns ( i assume that it is either 
23x4 or 4x23 grid). Apart from that, first, you should be able to visualize 
binary file in grads (using predictand.ctl), if you want its convrsion using 
lats4d.  

Othrwise, if you  have 4x1 grid then lats4d can not deal with it. It is in 
fact, not a 2d grid.
