It is mails as the one below which make me think that we should publish
binaries of the current version of winGRASS which are way better then
the one we advertise now (i.e. Huidae's).

In case it helps someone else, I seem to have fixed at least part of the
problem. In the grass.bat file, the path was pointing to the wrong
place for PostgreSQL (I have 8.2 installed, but the original was set to
8.1). So I changed:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin
to
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin.
Which seems to have been the culprit. It would appear to work now--I
just have to figure out what I am doing!

I followed the installation instructions at

and have edited the bat file as instructed elsewhere.
I can get as far as the startup window, where it asks which mapset you
want to open or create. Although I have spearfish60 in the right place,
and it recognizes this, when I select it and go to "enter GRASS" the
following happens:1. it starts to open and I get a nice startup screen
2. an "error in startup script" window opens, which begins:
can't read "parts(n)": no such variable while executing
"MapCanvas::zoom_new $mon $parts(n) $parts(s) $parts(e) $parts(w)
$parts(nsres) $parts(ewres)" (see screenshot for the rest)In the cmd window it says:
WARNING: Attention!
WARNING: Locking is not supported on Windows!and then it goes back to the "Welcome to GRASS 6.3.cvs" prompt.
I hit "OK" the error window, and the whole thing shuts down.
I've never installed Cygwin, so I don't think that is the problem. I
don't know anything about coding, scripting, etc. so if I need to change
something please explain it very slowly--that is, what file do I look
at, and what do I use to open and edit it (e.g. notepad).I installed qGIS as well with the idea that it would act as a front end
for GRASS, and the GRASS tools plugin seems to work just fine.Thanks for your help.
