Hello, Hamish. Thank you for your answer.
I've looked through it and it is quite well done. Could we add
it to the grass-addons repository?
It would be great, but first I want to correct it a bit.
* consider moving the temp file creation until after all the
parsing checks are done, so that they are only generated when
we know the module is going to run and empty files are not
left behind.
* always "quote" filename $VARIABLES, or else the script will
break on MS Windows where path names commonly have spaces in
them.
Ok, understand.
* did you try the geology/strike* symbols before making your own?
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/IconSymbols#New
were they deficient for some reason? (too long bases for the
task, or ..?) [no problem, just like feedback if they could be
better]
Yes, it was my first attempt, but all "geology/..." symbols have
(you're right) "too long bases for the task". So I decide to make
"front" symbols == "geology" symbols without bases.
* consider advertising it in the geology + atmospheric science
field of study sections in the GRASS wiki:
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Applications
Ok.
* besides left,right, consider a "both" side of line option.
Ok, it's a good idea.
the problem of line styles is still not completely solved,
hopefully we can do something with that in grass7, but this has
been a missing functionality for a long time- so thanks!
In GRASS 7 without good-old monitors I can't realize what to do with
all of this graph modules (some of them are really useful..)
I think it's possible to implement some other line styles in 6.4.*
version with the same method as in d.frontline.
ps- I just noticed the collection of new symbols by Martin
Povolny. lots of them, great.

Thanks,

So, I will correct my module and will send it again.
