completed a major rewrite of the GRASS 6+ GIS Manager in TclTk. This is the
beginning phase of the development of a new and more up-to-date user interface
for GRASS, and comes out of a couple months of discussions on interface design
for GRASS and GIS.<BR><BR>I committed it to the CVS (It is currently in
grass6/display/gis.m, but its location and/or designation in the source tree may
change. See subsequent post to the developers list) and posted it to my website
at <A

6.0.1 (even with some broken functionality like d.out.file) and if so how? I
downloaded the tgz package from your site, pasted into /usr/lib/grass/etc/dm,
restarted Grass, but nothing new happened. The old dm loads after
location/mapset selection.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
