Dear GRASS community,

due to the big size of the GRASS 4.2.1 source code package
I have deleted all oldish files left behind from development.
More than 1000 files were taken out (they are saved on my machine
here, if you need them). Also LTPlus and MAPGEN are separated from
the main package into extra packages.

What's new in GRASS 4.2.1 (V.18) source code?

 - reduced size: 20MB compressed (V.17 was 45MB) (M.N.)
 - r.in.ll corrected, handles properly negative cell values 
      now (from J. Bouchard)
 - r.in.bin: new "-s" flag and "subst" option for GTOPO30 files  (J.B.)
 - r.direct: corrected (J.B.)
 - added src.alpha/raster/r.in.ppm (M.N.)
 - r.hdf - Solaris/Linux compiling problem fixed (M.N.)
 - ps.map Segmentation Fault on Solaris 2.6
       fixed in libgis.a:  in src421/libes/gis/strip.c (Clifton Wood)
 - Removed "chmod 0555 grass42/scripts/*" from script Gmakefiles 
   changed partly to "chmod 755" (George Chou)
 - r.water.outlet3.0: error message corrected (G.C.)
 - r.affinity: comment syntax corrected (G.C.)
 - src/libes/gis/G.h: "Too many open files" problem fixed (G.C.)

Thanks to all developers above for their help!

Coming soon:
 - GRASS 4.2.1 (V.18) Linux binaries
 - TclTKGRASS 2.3 with new nice feature and improved platform independency

Where to find it:

 http://www.laum.uni-hannover.de/iln/grass/grass42/
 ftp://130.75.72.14/pub/grass421/
 - on the mirrors soon :) 

Also the server structure was (hopefully) improved.

Have fun
