Hi
i have trouble importing an Arcview shapefile...When i check the "List database" option it says no DBF or worng format,which is not the case I think.
And when I am trying to display it through d.vect or or d.display I just get a blank screen. The import of the file however (I do it in verbose mode) seems to be ok.
Any possible cause?
Thanks

Do you have physically .dbf file available? DBF is fairly universal
format, so you can try to view it in some other program (either import
with pg.in.dbf if you have PostgreSQL installed, or more easily into
some spreadsheet -- most of them can read DBF) and check that it is OK.
BTW, one note (which I overlooked and wasted a plenty of time with
that): v.in.shape.pg IS DEPRECEATED and useless (just in the case, you
would like to use it). Plain v.in.shape works well (5.0.0pre4).
