run the native Wingrass63RC5 under Win2k after renaming the "wish85.exe" and
"tclsh85.exe" into "wish.exe" and "tclsh.exe" (is that correct ?). I tried a bit
the "Spearfish" example and everything seems to work fine.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">After having created a new project location, I
try to import SRTM3 and SWBD files but when I call the modules "r.in.srtm" or
"v.in.e00" through the menu, they crash telling me that the « child process
exited abnormally ». This happens also with the "Terra ASTER" and "SPOT NDVI"
ones for example, while others, like "Binary", seem to work
fine.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

doesn't crash, but when I specify a compressed (or even uncompressed) SRTM file
(without the ".hgt.zip" extension), it tells me « "unzip" and "file" are
required, please install them first ». For "v.in.e00" it tells me « 'avcimport'
program not found, install it first ».<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
