I will importing both DEM and Landsat data into Grass soon, but based
on what I know so far, I see a problem. That is, the commands I have
know about (m.dem.extract, i.tape.tm) assume the data is coming from tape.
The data I have and will be getting are already on disk/diskette.
The LandSat diskette, for example, has separate disk files for each of the
bands and a separate header file as well. Are these files in need of
processing to convert to Grass raster format, or are they already in that
format? How do i proceed to import such files into a Grass database?
The DEM files are USGS dems and exist as indivual ascii files. Again, the
m.dem.extract assumes it's reading a tpe not a disk file. How to proceed?
Thanks in advance,
