dig_cats are ignored by v.in.ascii, you have to create
db table directly and link it to vector:
db.execute (create table ..., insert into ....)
v.db.connect
So example 1 in v.in.ascii.html is wrong? What about dig_att it talks about?
Will v.in.ascii input files handle "45:30:59N 179:30:59W"?
I'm pretty sure the answer is no -- should it or would that make things worse?
Other outdated documentation:
http://grass.ibiblio.org/grass57/tutorial/attrib_storage.html
mentions db.createdb. Not sure of replacement.
