profile extraction y scale

[Malcolm Williamson]

Hello, Henk
I know that this probably isn't the answer you really want to hear, but
I'd guess that you could actually modify the source code for this
program fairly easily to meet your needs. My experience has been that
you don't have to be a full-time programmer to make minor changes in the
GRASS code for a custom version to fit your needs. In this case, you
could probably (I'm guessing, I must admit!) change the minimum y value
to be something like 27000 by just changing a couple lines of code and
recompiling. Modify the gmakefile so that the program has a unique name.
If this is beyond your skills, you might try to find a co-worker who
could help you.

Best of luck,
	-Malcolm Williamson
