I understand.

Does that mean that if I install the current version of JGrass I'd get the
functionality you implemented?

Great.

The target for the 4D GIS use is to visulaise modeling result in combination
with more feature data. The analysis and modelling is done with other tools
Note: I currently haven't settled on any system. I slightly favour the QGIS
system because of its possibility to code a plugin in python.

Anyway, thaks for your initiative and effort.
