[GRASSLIST:7469] DEM import

GRASS GRASS user

Hi there

I am trying to import a DEM (digital elevation model). The files I want to
import are
.hed and *.dat files.

I tried to use s.in.* modules, but for some or other reason, my Grass 6
doesn't have these features. Install the s.* modules?

Is there some specific feature for DEM import? If so, which type of files is
recognised by it?

Thanks
Kobus

You will want to use something like r.in.gdal for a raster file. Sites no longer exist in GRASS 6.0, they have been ported to vector points. I am not sure that either of those files is typical for raster data. They sound like header files.
See http://grass.itc.it/grass60/manuals/html60_user/r.in.gdal.html
for data formats accepted by gdal.
