Hello all,
Does anyone know how I can, in a Linux box, convert MicroStatio *.dgn files
into dxf or shape, or something that GRASS can read?
tks

Carlos,
The "ogr2ogr" application (part of GDAL/OGR) provides conversion of
DGN files to Shapefiles. In GRASS 5.1, DGN files should be useable directly.
http://gdal.velocet.ca/projects/opengis/
Note that DGN files generally contain a mixture of geometry types, while
shapefiles may only have one type of geometry so you will need to do some
fooling around to translate the DGN file into a "point", "line", and "polygon"
file to capture all features in a complex dataset.
Good luck,
--
