Greetings from Idaho !!!
One of our field offices is trying to get some field boundary and soils
information to a land owner. They have it on their GRASS GIS system.
The land owner has software called "CROPSITE" whcih can import data in
"AGLINK", "SURFER", "MAPSITE", or "ASCII" format. I'm not familiar with
the first three formats, and I don't know what sort of ASCII format file
the fourth is.Please share any information you may have on exporting data to this software.
Thanks in advance.

David,
I used SURFER years ago to show topology of some small areas. Back then the
file format was a based on a simple x,y,z coordinate system where x=latitude,
y=longitude and z=altitude or some value such as height or amount. These
coordinates were referenced on a general x,y,z=0,0,0 grid. When I was using
this system, I imported it into SURFER from an ASCII text file in columns of x.
y, and z.
It was all very simple if you had everything as point coordinates.
I have never done this, but you could use v.out.ascii, r.out.ascii or
s.out.ascii. You can
view the manual reference for these commands using g.manual {grass command}.
Hope this helps somewhat.
