RE:
Anyone know of a good, relatively readable GRASS users manual?
**********************************Absolutely, positively not.
[stuff deleted...]
Seriously, I think that the greatest weakness of GRASS GIS at the present
time is the lack of a truly helpful users guide - something like the book
"Understanding Arc-Info." Time and $$$, of course. But without it, taking
up GRASS is like jumping into a black hole. Less-than-bold computer users
resist. Computer-familiar users curse. When you get that special help that
shows you the secret paths of which only the gurus have knowlege...it is
annoying that verbal communication is the only way to get that knowlege.
I agree to an extent, but my experience is that only the first-person-in
with a new software package reads the manuals! Even the understanding
Arc-Info...
The GRASS manuals are no less readable than SUN Unix manuals 
Somebody out there was writing a beginners guide I believe, is that
available?
