[GRASSLIST:3282] Re: Topmodel parameter file

[Thomas Adams]

Helena & Markus,

I'd be very happy to take on this project, but I'll need some help (guidance) on
doing this. I've used the model & I am pretty familiar with the original code,
but I have NOT written any GRASS modules to date. There is no time like the
present to get started!

Regards,
Tom
