rasterizing digitized contour maps

You should also look at r.surf.contour and s.surf.tps, both methods

Yes, r.surf.contour looks like what I should be using. I'll
set it to work also.

It should have been finished by now. Did you make the interpolation
very involved (like using the nearest 24 points) ?

I just went with the default of 12.
