I am having trouble using the v.in.arc command. The error message
"cannot find ARC-INFO lines file" is displayed. I have tried
putting the lines and points files from the ARC 'ungenerate'
command in several different directories. Is there a specific
file naming convention for these files different than adding a
.lin and a .pts after the filename?

Yes, this is a well known problem that I spend some time to find out
how it works. The ungenerate files should be placed in a subdirectory
called arc under current $LOCATION. (eg. /data/SPEARFISH/larss/arc )
I have reported this before that this is missing in the manual page when
the program was in alpha testing.
Hope this helps, besides this the program works fine, if you do the
correct things in arc/info also.
