I made a 400*400 gdal raster called dxy.tif with two bands, the first 
with offsets for longitude, the second for latitude, all in arcseconds. 
If I use this file in the +nadgrids clause of cs2cs, I don't see any 
difference in the output. If I change the filename into something 
non-existing, I don 't see any differences either and do not get an 
error message. Any idea how I can test this further?
