I am a land use planner in Massachusetts interested in expanding the use of
GRASS by municipal public planners. Our state has a very good GIS
department, but everything is available only in .e00 or ESRI shapefile
format (see http://www.state.ma.us/mgis/database.htm for examples).
The burden of having to convert this data to GRASS might prevent people from
otherwise seeing the exciting potential of this open source resource, so I'd
like to work with the State to offer a CD with all the layers already
converted.
At present, what is the state of m.in.e00 and other conversion options?
Should I be using 5.x instead of 4.3? Please advise.

Do "rm config.cache", then re-run configure, then check again.
Better still, add the lines
define([AC_CACHE_LOAD], )dnl
define([AC_CACHE_SAVE], )dnlto the beginning of configure.in (before the AC_INIT), run autoconf,
then commit both configure.in and configure to CVS.This will completely disable autoconf's caching mechanism (which
basically causes humans to waste countless hours tracking down
problems in order to allow CPUs to spend more time idle; whoever
thought that this was a good idea deserves shooting; actually,
shooting is too good for them).
Glynn,
even if the cache is disabled, the libraries won't be added.
Seems to be a coding problem in configure.

Hi developers,
I have cleaned up the spreaded numerical functions and moved
them all into GMATHLIB (src/libes/gmath).
Following modules are affected:
* r.surf.fractal
* r.surf.gauss
* r.surf.random
* i.cca
* i.pca
* i.zc
* i.fft
* i.shape (src.contrib/CERL/imagery/)
I have tested compilation on Linux, Solaris/SUN and CRAY. Please
report any functionality problems which may occur from (not)
externally declared variables.
Perhaps someone could clean the
src/libes/gmath/local_proto.h and
src/libes/gmath/numerical.h
(I am not too familiar with those declaration style).
Cheers
Markus

Hi again,
at time there is a little G_percent() mess with
d.rast -> doesn't reach 100% (in tcltkgrass)
r.stats -> displays percentage very odd, doesn't reach 100%
Does anyone have a suggestion to fix this? It seems that
my last tries in r.stats weren't successfull.
Thanks in advance,
Markus

Markus,
maybe you can replace the outdated command list reference on grass
manual page with Eric's list - it is really useful both for new and
old users.http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/gdp/html_grass5/grass_commandlist.html
o.k, done. I have been using Eric's version as I don't get g.xml2html
compiled at time. Perhaps Eric can update again the
html/grass_commandlist.html
as I have added the missing descriptions? The web site will get updated
by cron_job.
And here are the broken links

all removed as these html pages are pretty outdated (use book instead).
Also please update:
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/grid3d/index.html
it has a link to s.vol.rst binaries and says that sources won't be
distributed.
Changed.
As for s.vol.rst - it may actually be useful to include it into GRASS5 -
it can be run without the grid3 if it is run with the option of bivariate
interpolation with additional variable (for example precipitation with
influence of terrain). We just got a paper accepted about it to TGIS and
we say that it is available in GRASS5, so it would be nice to have it
there. It works very well and there aren't many programs around that can
do that. However, there is a problem with compilation without the g3d
library so I would have to take out all the volume stuff and we may end up
again with 2 versions of similar program. So I don't know, let me know
what do you think.
Well, at time I have
- retagged src/libes/g3d to the release_branch (although I dislike this due
to the bugs)
- added s.vol.rst at
src.contrib/GMSL/g3d/src3d/sites/s.vol.rst
So s.vol.rst can be compiled successfully. As the other g3d modules are
not present, the g3d lib shouldn't cause too much headaches at time.
Figure 4b and a related animation in the document
http://www2.gis.uiuc.edu:2280/modviz/viz/sinter.html
and
http://www2.gis.uiuc.edu:2280/modviz/viz/tropy.htmlillustrates what the program does The input is 2D raster of elevation and
site precipitation and output is precipitation raster map. It can be used
also for other phenomena.
... they look nice!
Thanks for contributing s.vol.rst!
