<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Courier New" size=2>I have recently installed the
wingrass sytem (grass5.0.0pre3) on my machine which is running win2000. I have
tried to follow all the installation instuctions bt not being familiar with the
whole unix like setup I might have made some mistakes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Courier New" size=2>Basically grass is working. I
can create my own location and tcltkgrass is working. My problem comes when
trying to create and display raster images. I had a 3 column ascii file that I
managed to import into a sites list using s.in.ascii (I can disply the site
data). I then tried to convert that into a raster image using s.to.rast and
s.surf.rst. Both programs appear to work as they output a file. I then open a
display window and try to display the raster file with d.rast. I get the
following error:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Courier New" size=2>I thought it might be a
binary read problem that I have read about in the mail archive but I can display
raster images from the spearfish data set. It is only raster data sets that I
create that I cannot display. I have also tried to import a tiff image and to
display it but I get the same problem. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Courier New" size=2>Is anyone able to
help?</FONT></DIV>
