GRASS raster -> other GIS:
A good (rather new) option to exchange data is to go via standard
raster files such as GeoTIFF etc.
GRASS 6 provides a script 'r.out.gdal' which writes valid
GeoTIFFs (also other formats, see:
http://grass.itc.it/grass60/manuals/html60_user/r.out.gdal.html
)
It is a wrapper script around the excellent 'gdal_translate' tool.
Requirements are GDAL to be installed, with GRASS support
compiled in (GDAL now comes with an own driver/plugin which
links to the GRASS 6 libraries, no need to compile the
dated 'libgrass').
Configuration scripts (especially for the GRASS/GDAL plugin)
I can make available.

A colleague with whom I've tried to exchange a tarfile of a GRASS mapset

transferring files no longer seems to work with the new ArcGIS (and this is
all that he has).
If true, ESRI has actually *removed* functionality with this latest product.
Can anyone verify or correct this?
Any other suggestions for GRASS raster to Arc grid transfers?
Thanks,
