Hi,

First of all, you need to install gdal with the OGDI format support (not build
by default), so you probably need to build your own gdal-ogr command.

Then you can run :
ogr2ogr contourl.shp gltp:/vrf/mnt/data/v0eur/vmaplv0/eurnasia
“contourl@elev(*)_line”

to convert vmap to shapefile. Avoid to mix upper and lower case in your path !

Then you can import them into GRASS.

Regards,

Y.

Especially helpful is to notice, that the path name to your vmap0
directories should not contain UPPERCASE letters not any special
characters, \$_ and the like.

An (untested) alternative might be to get the FWtools which ship with OGDI driver
and convert to SHAPE or whatever there. Then v.in.ogr to import.
