Simon Cox put a question on the list about the v.in.ascii format.
I think that the example he gave needs a SPACE before the coordinates.
If this doesn't work, try to find out if you have enough spaces after
the VERTI: entry or the OTHER INFO: entry. And like Malcolm pointed out:
watch out for the switching of x- and y-coordinates!
Good luck to you!
