Hi netters
Another problem came up since my previous e-mail
I receive 2 discs from British Ordnance Survey containing digitised
data in .NTF (National Transfer Format)
Does anybody know how/if this format can be input to GRASS?
Somebody told me to import this format to ARC-INFO and then export it
to an ARC-INFO formatwhich can be read by GRASS.
Is this (if true) very complicated? I have no idea about how ARC-INFO
works.Giorgos

The problem of ntf data crops up every now and then, there is no
standard way of getting it into GRASS. Certainly you can go
via Arc-Info if you have access to it, or use some other package
to convert to .dxf and use v.in.dxf. I have managed to put
raster ntf data into grass directly, which OS product do you
have.
To anyone puzzled by this: ntf stands for national transfer format,
a particular nasty format that we Britons have use when we pay
through the nose for data collected by our own mapping agency the
Ordnance Survey (bitter? me?).
