[GRASSLIST:5126] Re: Labeling imported layers

Excellent; now I have categories on all my lines. I thought the way to "flatten" this so that all of the lines are of the same class would be to use v.reclass, but I keep getting the message, "WARNING: category support for vector file [lakes] in mapset [doug] missing". Do you know what I can do to fix that?

Thanks,

"export" as .e00 and use m.in.e00

Well, there're two files for "category support". One is dig_att/<name>
and the other is dig_cats/<name>. If you used m.in.e00, it creates
several dig_cats/ files with names like <name>.<field>. Use symbolic
links to make a dig_cats/<name> file point to the attribute file of
"choice".

Also, you did run v.support?
