[GRASS5] Voxels/3D rasters in GRASS 6.1

Thanks, Markus for all the info. This should point
me into the right direction to get a grip on my
troubles.
I will try again and document my experiences
when I get back from my holidays.

Cheers,

Benjamin

Yes: r3.*
- plus v.vol.*
- plus g.* for file/region management (was g3.* in earlier days)

No. I think that s.to.rast3 still needs to be ported as v.to.rast3.

Doesn't look good. I used the Slovakia data set a few days
ago without problems.

AFAIK: No, that's a TODO.

There is not too much yet, I believe.

Should be. Please help to improve the documentation...
