needed. Other programs like s.menu (the conversion) and s.voronoi
use the silly '#' (to some extent).I've hacked on the man page sites.format to clear things up a little.
If others want to whack at it, get it from
pasture.ecn.purdue.edu:pub/mccauley/grass/sites.format,
make whatever additions/deletions you see fit, and send
it to olga or someone (grassbug@zorro).--Darrell
It looks to me like Darrell and Helena are the two people currently most active
programming s.progs. Is it possible for a definitive decision to be made
by them, and then ratified by CERL? It looks like one of you will have to
change,
as I think the use of # to indicate a code or an attribute is different between
you (eg s.surf.tps vs s.sample).
Just my farthing's worth
