The only notes I have is the following:


My work-around was to use the TIFIDRIS
program that comes with the IDRISI GIS program to create an IDRISI
raster file. The 8-bit IDRISI raster files are GRASS compatible. Put
them in the cell directory and run r.support.

I do not know why the r.in.ascii procedure is not working to import
the file from IDRISI. However, if the raster is a one-byte image
(values from 0-255), there is no need to do a conversion. The IDRISI
image can be placed in the CELL directory of the desired mapset. Then
run r.support to create the necessary header information.
