    The GRASS module v.distance will do that. If you supply the
    parameters <br>
    "upload=dist" and <br>
    "column=<which column to upload distance into> "<br>
    then in the attribute table of the "from" vector the distances to
    the closest feature in the "to" vector will appear.<br>
    Also the parameter "output=<line vector for connectors>"
    specifies where to store the lines connecting the features between
    the "from" vector and the closest feature in the "to" vector.<br>
    <br>
    (You might want to post questions like this to the grass-users list
    instead)<br>
