Ok, I finally got my points imported with this command:
echo "B 5 1
66.5 44.0
66.5 44.25
66.0 44.25
66.0 44.0
66.5 44.0
1 1" | v.in.ascii -n output=new_test format=standard
Note that the field separator is a space, but v.in.ascii is not explicitly
told so using the fs= parameter, which is kind of odd.

Again, it fails even if W and N are omitted:
echo "66.5|44.25" | v.in.ascii -n output=DMS_test format=standard --o
Error reading ascii file:
66.5|44.25

I tried reversing Long and Lat, but get the same error. Interestingly,
the
"Error reading ascii file" line disappears if I run the same command
without
the -n flag, but still fails:
echo "66.5|44.25" | v.in.ascii output=DMS_test format=standard --o

Hi,
I think that decimal degree go without W and N since
the minus is used for West/South.

places, which probably doesn't even matter.~ Eric.
