I started looking at GRASS 5.7 in detail over the past couple days, and started in on a comprehensive menu system for it. I am starting in TclTk (because I already have the scripts done for GRASS 5.3) but can switch to another format when appropriate.
A couple things became clearer when I started going through GRASS 5.7 systematically (necessary in order to see what to put on the menu and what to take off).
1. A huge amount of work has been done to port GRASS 5 to the new format. However, there are still many commands and modules that need to be redone to work for GRASS 5.7. This is a tremendous task and the few people that are doing much of the work need as much help as they can get. In this respect, I started testing scripts from GRASS 5.3 that are not yet ported to GRASS 5.7. I'll provide a full list of what I find out soon. In the meantime, I also started making scripts that work in 5.7 compatible with the run-time generated GUI dialogs. I'm including the first couple that I did last night for submission to the CVS. They are d.monsize and my d.out.png script. I'd be happy if anyone wanted to further test them on another system besides Mac OSX. With d.out.png, people can now get nice looking output from GRASS 5.7 to insert into another document or print.

Michael,
I didn't look at the package yet but I would like to
remind that only scripts using 'g.parser' should be
accepted in GRASS 5.7.
Maybe you have added 'g.parser' support in your new
scripts, then they might be integrated directly.
Otherwise please add the 'g.parser' related stuff.
Thanks
Markus

PNG may be also written from 'Print' dialog in d.m. It does not support
all d.* commands because it uses ps.map, but supports line width.
