To everyone in the US who knows something about the State Plane System

I want to set up a grass location in Barnstable, Massachsetts. So when
i start grass I want to create a mapset in the state plane coordinate
system (in meters). Grass ask me which system I answer state plane and
then the question pops up which zone. My question is which zone is
Barnstable , Massachusetts. I've tried to look it up but all I can find
Massachsetts mainland zone, but this answer is not good enough for
grass.
If anyone knows the answer please mail me at >lasm@geo.vu.nl
Thank in advance.

All of Cape Cod, of which town and county of Barnstable is part of, is
in the Mass. Mainland (No. 2001) zone. The Island (No. 2002) zone only
applies to Nantucket, Marthas Vinyard and the Elizabeth Islands.
If you were using PROJ.4's nad2nad, you would specify zone 2001.
