Creating the .cgd File

The PLOT3D xyz file containing the overlayed grids is named demo.grid, and is a 3D (although with kmax = 1), multi-zone, formatted, single-precision file without an IBLANK array. A .cgd file named demo.cgd was created using cfcnvt, as shown in the following runstream. Lines in slanted type were typed by the user.
