-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi people,

  Thank you for the fast answer.  I am a biologist working in a
biodiversity survey in Brazil. At this moment I am evaluating the
possibility of using a GIS software to analyse our data (insects and their
host plants distributed in a macrogeographic scale). As I am a first time
GRASS GIS user, I would like to know if there is any kind of "step-by-step
tutorial" available.

 Do you think I would have advantages using GRASS GIS
or you recommend a simpler software (as ArcView)?

I got GRASS4.3 and installed it succesfully, but I failed in loading
SPEARFISH database - after informing location, mapstets, etc I received
messages like:

ENC: unbound variable
XIM:unbound variable
etc

I also would like to know where do I find the information to set up a new
location???

I also got GRASS5 and installed it, but when I try to start with the
command "grass5", the answer is a message "Starting grass" and a new blank
window (gis_set.tcl) that  appears -- and anything else happens.


Thank you very much for you patience...
