[GRASS-dev] g.mlist as C implementation?

[Maris Nartiss]

Hi,
back to old discussions?
http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass-dev/2007-January/028510.html

Just a idea - would it be possible to #IFDEF OS specific illegal chars
for this function? Only problem for such approach could be tar'ing
location/gisdbase and moving to other system (move *nix files with ":"
to windows).
Or - for GRASS 7 - get rid of map_name==file_name at all. Assign some
random file name (gr_0982193) and store map name in it's header
(my!@*&^*!#(*^!*@&raster). Such approach could eliminate illegal map
name problem at all. Drawback - no easy way how to tell which map is
stored in which file w/o GRASS (it can be solved by providing some
"table of contents" file).

Just trying to confuse everyone,
Maris.
