Hi Malte,

thanks a lot, i tried doing several things but failed
to get result.. these the things i did that got not
result.. what seems to be the problem with these? i
need to import shapefiles and work with my files

(other choices were ASCII points file or GRASS ASCII
vector file, Input old GRASS vector format, dxf file,
ESERI e00 format, Garmin GPS Waypoints/Routes/Tracks,

& MapGen files)

v.in.ogr -l dsn=C:/ESRI/ESRIDATA/WORLD/CITIES.SHP
output=cities.grc min_area=0.0001 snap=-1
