Here is more information on GRASS for Windows and NVIZ from Isaac. We still can’t get NVIZ to launch if GRASS is started from the grass.bat file. Given that it DOES work fine if launched from within MySys, it seems that this must be some kind of path issue that is potentially solvable.<BR>
<BR>
Also, I think we need to make MySys a dependency of GRASS for Windows. There is just too much lost by not having access to the scripts—including the nviz script. Users without MySys will perceive GRASS as partly non-functional. This is not a problem license-wise is it?<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I tried both of these solutions, and neither resulted in success (ie. NVIS still does not launch!) So far, the only solution that works for me is to move the grass install directory into the c:\mysys\1.0 directory, edit the "grass63" shell script so that the GISBASE is now set to "/c/msys/1.0/grass63RC2/grass- 6.3.0RC2", and then start grass by invoking that script at the command prompt in the mysys shell. If the grass directory is not installed in the mysys root directory, (ie. it's just in c:\) then mysys can find it since I can't cd in the mysys terminal below the mysys root folder "c/mysys/1.0/" <BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
