[GRASS-user] Re:status of g-ps.map (WAS ps.map GUI)

[Michele]

Dear Hamish, Martin and Jachym, thanks for your replies.

I looked to some discussion on ps.map GUI, ps.map itself and the
new WxWidgets GRASS interface as suggested.
I think that ps.map can do good things, but often we do not have
the time to write instr. for it, and maybe a GUI to generate
instructions helps.

I'm going to consider this (if I can do it), also i think
something is needed now, but if i understood, this wxGRASS
will be 6.4(?) and wxWidgets can not be used with current GRASS code;
is wxWidgets available as a standard pkg?
More to say, but maybe grass-gui list is more appropriate place :-)

Thanks, Michele.
