Referring to my message of 13 Jul 94 (Real easy question) and Darrell McCauley's
reply on 13 Jul 94 (Re: Real easy question), I looked at v.in.ascii and it
appears to convert an existing map layer in ascii format to a map layer in
binary format. What I need to do is convert an ascii text file consisting
of lat lon in two columns to a vector map layer. As far as I can tell from
the manual, v.in.ascii will not do this. Does anyone know what will?-Stephen Dzurenko

Steve,
This sounds like you should be looking at the site commands. You have
what is a sites file with no attributes. s.in.ascii:
"Each line of input should contain the easting, northing and (optionally)
the category label associated with a site...."
Then use s.to.vect to convert to a vector.
