When I use v.in.tig.lndmk
I am having no luck in extracting vector files from the
TIGER/Line files by specifying the CFCC Code. Specifying
strings to match landmark names works fine. I'm using the
Spring 93 release of 4.1 Update level 3. Any clues?

By the way I run v.in.tig.lndmk interactively.

I haven't really dinked with v.in.tig.lndmk, but for vectors you can effectively
use a combination of m.in.stf1.tape and v.in.tig.basic . Specify the CFCC like
so:
  m.in.stf1.tape 56=A1 < original_type1_file > new_type1_file

and then

  v.in.tig.basic t1=new_type1_file t2=orig_type2_file out=new_vectorfile

and you will have your desired vector layer.

Later today or tomorrow I will be releasing a set of three scripts for
extracting TIGER/Line data along with various attributes. Watch this list for
further info (I'm finishing the man pages).

Cheers,
