My apologies for the long post and, not to forget,
I wish Health above all to all of you and a creative and peaceful 2008.

Following the how-to in GRASS-NEWS vol.3 and based on the scripts of
Markus N (adjusted for paths and name of the vmap data base).
I try to get shapefiles out of the VMAP data base.
I do... :
(Dowloaded the file v0eur.tar.gza from
http://geoengine.nga.mil/ftpdir/archive/vpf_data/v0eur.tar.gz )
1. tar -xzvf v0eur.tar.gz
2. sudo sh FixNames_script_MN.sh D
Here I get as an output:
Supported Formats:
[...]
-> "OGDI" (readonly)
[...]
Removing trailing dot ...
mv: missing destination file operand after `.'
Try `mv --help' for more information.
Changing upper case directories to lower case names...
3. sudo sh vmap2shp_script_MN.sh
After QGIS is launched with three shapefiles loaded... all of them are
empty and any attempt to view is of course not successful.
Output:
