I agree.

I agree.

I agree.

New vector?:
MAPSET/vector/vector_name/coor  (binary file)  - (former dig/)
                         /head  (text file)    - (head of former dig/)
                         /topo  (binary file)  - (former dig_plus)
                         /cats  (text file)    - (former dig_cats)

Please suggest better file names (short).
