s.surf.tps

It's quite simple Ross: for historical reasons (a miscommunication between
CERL people) the sitefile to input into s.surf.tps has the format

easting|northing|#value

ie the third field has hashes prefixed. Yes, this does make it different
and incompatible with s.surf.idw. I understand that by GRASS-5 this will
all be cleared up (and hopefully the whole sites schemozzle will be much
cleaner, thanks to Darrell McCauley's new specification).

Good luck

I am trying to generate a DEM using s.surf.tps however the resulting raster
always has a category value of "0" and a label of "no data". However when I
run the same sites list through s.surf.idw it appears to generate a sensible
surface. The format of my sites list is :-

name|sitetest
desc|test for sites list from contpts
377395|7092510|480
377461|7092519|480
377506|7092531|480
377581|7092606|460
etc

When I run s.surf.tps the following error messages for each site are
displayed before it continues processing:-

eg " 400 (line 484) site description not prefixed with '#'"

Does anyone know where I might be going wrong !

Thanks,
