-<p><h3>Introduction</h3></p>
-
-
-<p>GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) is a free, open source Geographical Information System (GIS)
-capable of handling raster, topological vector, image processing, and graphic data.</p>
-
-<p>GRASS is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).</p>

-
-<p><h3>Release Notes</h3></p>
-
-<p>WinGRASS is a GRASS Development Team project, with the goal of creating a Microsoft Windows native binary port of GRASS.</p>
-
-<p>WinGRASS is an experimental project, still at an alpha stage, and it can't be considered a complete and fully
-working release of GRASS for Windows. Some features are missing (see <a href="#Missing Modules">Missing Modules</a> section
-in this document), some known bugs still need to be fixed (see <a href="#Known Issues">Known Issues</a> section) and other
-features may not work.</p>
-
-<p>If you need a robust, bug-free release of GRASS on Windows you should install the Cygwin version of
-GRASS 6.2.3, available at <a target="_blank" href="http://grass.osgeo.org/grass62/binary/mswindows/">
-http://grass.osgeo.org/grass62/binary/mswindows/</a>.<p>
-
-<p>See also <a target="_blank" href="http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/WinGRASS_Current_Status">
-http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/WinGRASS_Current_Status</a>.</p>
-
-<p>The current release of WinGRASS, based on GRASS 6.3.0RC6 (Technology preview release candidate 6), has been built on a
-i686 machine in the MinGW environment and contains parts of the following open source softwares and libraries:</p>
-
-<p>Software/Library (Release):</p>
-
-<p>
-<li>MSYS (1.0.11)</li>
-<li>Flex (2.5.4a-1)</li>
-<li>Bison (2.1)</li>
-<li>Zlib (1.2.3)</li>
-<li>Libpng (1.2.24)</li>
-<li>Libtiff (3.8.2)</li>
-<li>Freetype (2.3.5)</li>
-<li>FFTW (3.1.2)</li>
-<li>PDCurses (3.3)</li>
-<li>PROJ.4 (4.6.0)</li>
-<li>GEOS (2.2.3)</li>
-<li>GSL (1.9)</li>
-<li>Expat (2.0.1)</li>
-<li>PostgreSQL (8.2.6)</li>
-<li>SQLite (3.5.6)</li>
-<li>GDAL (1.5.1) *</li>
-<li>Tcl/Tk (8.5.1)</li>
-</p>
-
-<p>* with GEOS, Expat, PostgreSQL and SQLite support enabled</p>
-
-<p>The current package contains a complete build (libraries and executables) of all the items listed above, except for PostgreSQL,
-for which the package provides only the main dynamic library.</p>
-
-<p> All the above softwares and libraries have been built from sources on a i686 machine in the MinGW environment,
-with the exception of MSYS, provided by MinGW Project on SourceForge.NET

-Flex and Bison, provided by GnuWin32 Project on SourceForge.NET
-(<a target="_blank" href="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/">http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/</a>).</p>
-
-<p>The current release of GRASS 6.3.0RC6 has been built with the following configuration:</p>

-<div id="Install GRASS">
-
-<p><h3>Install GRASS</h3></p>
-
-<p>To install GRASS launch WinGRASS-6.3.0RC6-Setup.exe and follow the instructions in it.</p>
-
-<p>If installed into a directory that has spaces in either its name or the path of directories leading up to it,
-some functionalities of GRASS might be hampered. We would highly appreciate if you tried and reported any problems,
-so that we can fix them. However, if you want to avoid any such issues, we recommend that you choose a simple
-installation path without spaces, such as <code>C:\GRASS</code>.</p>
-
-<p>The WinGRASS Installer has been made using the OpenSource NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) software, available at:
-<a target="_blank" href="http://nsis.sourceforge.net">http://nsis.sourceforge.net</a></p>
-
-</div>
-
-
-
-<div id="Sample Data">
-
-<p><h3>Sample Data</h3></p>
-
-<p>As install option, you can also download and install the following GRASS sample data sets:</p>
-
-<table><tr>
-<td width="120" align="left" valign="top"><p><h4>North Carolina Data Set</h4></p></td>
-<td align="left">
-<p>Used as sample data in the book "Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach", 3rd edition, this data set is a comprehensive
-collection of raster, vector and imagery data covering parts of North Carolina (NC), USA (map), prepared from public data
-sources provided by the North Carolina state and local government agencies and Global Land Cover Facility (GLCF).</p>
-<p>See also <a target="_blank" href="http://www.grassbook.org/data_menu3rd.php">http://www.grassbook.org/data_menu3rd.php</a></p>

-
-<table><tr>
-<td width="120" align="left" valign="top"><p><h4>South Dakota Data Set</h4></p></td>
-<td align="left">
-<p>Also known as Spearfish data set, it contains raster, vector and point data of South Dakota, USA
-(UTM projection, Clarke66 ellipsoid, NAD27 conus)</p>

-
-
-<div id="Launching GRASS">
-
-<p><h3>Launching GRASS</h3></p>
-
-<p>You have three options for launching GRASS:</p>
-
-<p>The easiest is to click on the GRASS icon in the GRASS Start menu folder or on the Desktop.</p>
-
-<p>If you prefer working in text mode on the command line, you can also launch cmd.exe (Start Menu -> Run command ->
-type <code>cmd.exe</code> and click on Run) and type <code>c:\PathToYourGrassInstallation\grass63.bat -text</code> plus enter.
-If you want to launch the GUI, just type <code>gis.m</code> and then enter.</p>
-
-<p>Finally, if you want to work in a unix/linux-like shell environment, you can launch GRASS from MSYS shell: open MSYS
-from the GRASS Start menu folder, type <code>grass63</code> and then enter.</p>
-
-</div>
-
-
-
-<div id="New GRASS Python GUI">
-
-<p><h3>New GRASS Python GUI</h3></p>
-
-<p>We would highly appreciate if you also tested the new GRASS Python GUI.</p>
-
-<p>To do that you'll need to install the following additional third-party software components:</p>
-
-<table><tr>
-<td width="100" align="left" valign="top"><p><h4>Python</h4></p></td>
-<td align="left">
-<p>Download the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.2/python-2.5.2.msi">Python installer</a></p>
-<p>Install to <code>%PROGRAMFILES%\Python</code></p>
-<p>Add <code>%PROGRAMFILES%\Python</code> to your <code>PATH</code> system variable.</p>
-</td>
-</tr></table>
-
-<table><tr>
-<td width="100" align="left" valign="top"><p><h4>Python Extensions</h4></p></td>
-<td align="left">
-<p>Download the <a target="_blank" href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pywin32/pywin32-210.win32-py2.5.exe">
-Python Extensions installer</a></p>
-<p>Just launch the installer, it will automatically set the correct install path.</p>
-</td>
-</tr></table>
-
-<table><tr>
-<td width="100" align="left" valign="top"><p><h4>wxPython</h4></p></td>
-<td align="left">
-<p>Download the <a target="_blank" href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.7.1-py25.exe">
-wxPython installer</a></p>
-<p>Install to <code>%PROGRAMFILES%\Python\Lib\site-packages</code></p>
-</td>
-</tr></table>
-
-<table><tr>
-<td width="100" align="left" valign="top"><p><h4>NumPy</h4></p></td>
-<td align="left">
-<p>Download <a target="_blank" href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/numpy/numpy-1.0.4.win32-py2.5.msi">
-NumPy installer</a></p>
-<p>Install to <code>%PROGRAMFILES%\Python</code></p>
-</td>
-</tr></table>
-
-<p>Finally, to start GRASS with the new Python GUI, open a MSYS shell, type <code>grass63 -wxpython</code> and then enter.</p>
-
-<p>Please, note that the new GRASS Python GUI is still at a highly experimental stage, and that the
-vector digitizer is disabled in it.</p>

+<p><h3>Release Notes</h3></p>
+
+<p>WinGRASS is a GRASS Development Team project, with the goal of creating a Microsoft Windows native binary port of GRASS.</p>
+
+<p>WinGRASS is an experimental project, still at an alpha stage, and it can't be considered a complete and fully
+working release of GRASS for Windows. Some features are missing (see <a href="#Missing Modules">Missing Modules</a> section
+in this document), some known bugs still need to be fixed (see <a href="#Known Issues">Known Issues</a> section) and other
+features may not work.</p>
+
+<p>If you need a robust, bug-free release of GRASS on Windows you should install the Cygwin version of
+GRASS 6.2.3, available at <a target="_blank" href="http://grass.osgeo.org/grass62/binary/mswindows/">
+http://grass.osgeo.org/grass62/binary/mswindows/</a>.<p>

+
+<p>The current release of WinGRASS, based on GRASS 6.3.0RC6 (Technology preview release candidate 6), has been built on a
+i686 machine in the MinGW environment and contains parts of the following open source softwares and libraries:</p>

+<div id="Install GRASS">
+
+<p><h3>Install GRASS</h3></p>
+
+<p>To install GRASS launch WinGRASS-6.3.0RC6-Setup.exe and follow the instructions in it.</p>
+
+<p>If installed into a directory that has spaces in either its name or the path of directories leading up to it,
+some functionalities of GRASS might be hampered. We would highly appreciate if you tried and reported any problems,
+so that we can fix them. However, if you want to avoid any such issues, we recommend that you choose a simple
+installation path without spaces, such as <code>C:\GRASS</code>.</p>
+
+<p>The WinGRASS Installer has been made using the OpenSource NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) software, available at:
+<a target="_blank" href="http://nsis.sourceforge.net">http://nsis.sourceforge.net</a></p>
+
+</div>
+
+
+
+<div id="Sample Data">
+
+<p><h3>Sample Data</h3></p>
+
+<p>As install option, you can also download and install the following GRASS sample data sets:</p>
+
+<table><tr>
+<td width="120" align="left" valign="top"><p><h4>North Carolina Data Set</h4></p></td>
+<td align="left">
+<p>Used as sample data in the book "Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach", 3rd edition, this data set is a comprehensive
+collection of raster, vector and imagery data covering parts of North Carolina (NC), USA (map), prepared from public data
+sources provided by the North Carolina state and local government agencies and Global Land Cover Facility (GLCF).</p>

+<div id="Launching GRASS">
+
+<p><h3>Launching GRASS</h3></p>
+
+<p>You have three options for launching GRASS:</p>
+
+<p>The easiest is to click on the GRASS icon in the GRASS Start menu folder or on the Desktop.</p>
+
+<p>If you prefer working in text mode on the command line, you can also launch cmd.exe (Start Menu -> Run command ->
+type <code>cmd.exe</code> and click on Run) and type <code>c:\PathToYourGrassInstallation\grass63.bat -text</code> plus enter.
+If you want to launch the GUI, just type <code>gis.m</code> and then enter.</p>
+
+<p>Finally, if you want to work in a unix/linux-like shell environment, you can launch GRASS from MSYS shell: open MSYS
+from the GRASS Start menu folder, type <code>grass63</code> and then enter.</p>
+
+</div>
+
+
+
+<div id="New GRASS Python GUI">
+
+<p><h3>New GRASS Python GUI</h3></p>
+
+<p>We would highly appreciate if you also tested the new GRASS Python GUI.</p>
+
+<p>To do that you'll need to install the following additional third-party software components:</p>
+
+<table><tr>
+<td width="100" align="left" valign="top"><p><h4>Python</h4></p></td>
+<td align="left">
+<p>Download the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.2/python-2.5.2.msi">Python installer</a></p>
+<p>Install to <code>%PROGRAMFILES%\Python</code></p>
+<p>Add <code>%PROGRAMFILES%\Python</code> to your <code>PATH</code> system variable.</p>
+</td>
+</tr></table>
+
+<table><tr>
+<td width="100" align="left" valign="top"><p><h4>Python Extensions</h4></p></td>
+<td align="left">
+<p>Download the <a target="_blank" href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pywin32/pywin32-210.win32-py2.5.exe">
+Python Extensions installer</a></p>
+<p>Just launch the installer, it will automatically set the correct install path.</p>
+</td>
+</tr></table>
+
+<table><tr>
+<td width="100" align="left" valign="top"><p><h4>wxPython</h4></p></td>
+<td align="left">
+<p>Download the <a target="_blank" href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.7.1-py25.exe">
+wxPython installer</a></p>
+<p>Install to <code>%PROGRAMFILES%\Python\Lib\site-packages</code></p>
+</td>
+</tr></table>
+
+<table><tr>
+<td width="100" align="left" valign="top"><p><h4>NumPy</h4></p></td>
+<td align="left">
+<p>Download <a target="_blank" href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/numpy/numpy-1.0.4.win32-py2.5.msi">
+NumPy installer</a></p>
+<p>Install to <code>%PROGRAMFILES%\Python</code></p>
+</td>
+</tr></table>
+
+<p>Finally, to start GRASS with the new Python GUI, open a MSYS shell, type <code>grass63 -wxpython</code> and then enter.</p>
+
+<p>Please, note that the new GRASS Python GUI is still at a highly experimental stage, and that the
+vector digitizer is disabled in it.</p>
