[GRASS5] nviz script OK

[Helena Mitasova]

Bob

I think that the script is there - sorry for the confusion - GRASS that did not have
the script
was from march 2001 but it was installed only yesterday by a grad student here - I
think that these older versions should not
be there at all so that people do not report bugs which have already been fixed. I had
people writing
me who have just installed beta11 which is really old.
My older version of GRASS which has the script was from May2001 so that is why I
thought that it
was removed.

I guess that we need to wait for Markus to get back on-line to put things into order.

thank you
