compiling new grass commands

[Malcolm Williamson]

Hi, Marilyn & Jay
Normally this is pretty straight forward: you change the name of the program
within the Gmakefile in the source code directory, then run the command 
"gmake4.1" to compile the program, and then run the $GIS/src/CMD/MAKELINKS.xxx
(where xxx = the machine architecture - sun4, dec, mips, etc.) command to link
everything.

The problem is that you picked a particularly messy program to work with. When
you run the command "s.menu" you are actually just running a shell script that
calls various programs under $GISBASE/etc/sites. Rather than taking up lots of
bandwidth, why don't you either call me or e-mail me directly to discuss
details.
