<DIV><SPAN class=818075521-09112007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>You
are trying to execute a shell script in Windows without Msys. However, if you
need to change the vector type you can use the GRASS extension of QGIS, either
from the menu or from the shell. There is also a way to run shell scripts in
winGRASS see the installation instructions for that:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=818075521-09112007><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you want to be
able to run shell scripts (some of the GRASS modules are actually shell
scripts), you also have to install Msys
(http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=mingw&filename=MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe
or if this link does not work, go to http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml); in
order for shell scripts to work, you will have to add msys' lib and bin
directories to your path in the grass63.bat file.<BR></FONT></SPAN></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
