<div><div>Hi Jeremy,<br><br> Your user profile for Grass is a file called ".grassrc6" that is created in your home directory (ie. in windows: C:\msys\1.0\home\"username"\). If you simply delete this file, then the "default" search path for your user id will be deleted. Grass will create a new one when you restart it, and you should then point it to your new Spearfish60 dataset that you have unzipped to: C:\msys\1.0\home\grassdata\ . Make sure to highlight the "grassdata" directory when locating it in the tree, but don't double click it... Spearfish has two mapsets in it by default, PERMANENT and user1. You can create a new one by typing a new name into the "create new mapset" space, and clicking the button. If you make a new mapset, make sure that you will be able to work with data in the other mapsets by going to menu item Config --> Grass Working Environement --> Access other mapsets int he current location, and selecting all the other mapsets...
<br> Also, I read that another person was having trouble making new locations in wingrass. Indeed, wingrass does not currently support the creation of new locations at startup because an interactive text terminal is needed to accomplish that, and the current release of wingrass does not support such terminals (which is why aome other modules also fail to work in the current relaease). To overcome this, just download the Spearfish dataset and follow the instructions above. Once you have this, you can get into grass. Use GDAL (file --> import --> raster files --> multiple formats using GDAL (or --> vector files --> multiple formatrs using OGR))... Search for an existing GIS file (ie. a geotiff or shapefile), and make sure to enter a name for the new location to create using the spatial information stored in your GIS file. Hit run, and your file will be imported into the location you just created. Restart grass and make sure to select the new location (mapset PERMANENt, will be created with your file, but you can create a new one if you are unconforatble working in PERMANENT), and enter grass. You can now import more data with the same projection info using the same methods outlined above (GDAL/OGR) but be sure NOT to write a new location name this time. All the data will then be imported into your current location (note: if the new data's spatial extent (ie eastings and northings) exceeds the extents of the first file you imported, you will need to check the box marked "extend locations extents based on new data files". Otherwise your newly imported data will be clipped to the same size as the first imported file).
<br><br>Anyway, I hope this helps out..<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Isaac Ullah<br><br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

However, I've managed to get GRASS to work. My problem was that I was unzipping the spearfish Dataset but selecting all the archived files within WinZIP and dragging them to my database folder. Extracting in this way doesn't maintain the original dir structure of the zip file, the result was all the files in one folder, rather than a folder containing the permanent and user1 folders. After extracting the files correctly, GRASS works.
