[GRASS5] v.in.mif

[Heiko Kehlenbrink]

Hi all,

i had just imported the 9023.MIF/MID files into GRASS from 
www.english-nature.org.uk/pubs/gis .

I used  this Region:

                         REGION FACILITY
LOCATION: britain                                  MAPSET: test

CURRENT REGION: N=732954  S=0  RES=1  ROWS=732954
                E=730403  W=0  RES=1  COLS=730403
PROJECTION: 99 (Transverse Mercator)
ZONE:       0
DATUM:      osgb36
ELLIPSOID:  airy

First thing i had to do was rename the files from 9023.MIF and 9023.MID 
to 9023.mif and 9023.mid.
Than i had to add a logfile output(otherwise v.in.mif ended without 
producing anything, not even an error), maybe it would be a good idea to 
pipe the logging-output to nirwana
by default?

After that v.in.mif worked for me , produced a Logfile containing:
Mapinfo Data File:

4470074.53373)

Field data -- 2 columns

Field 0 is nacode of type Integer
Field 1 is naname of type Char


I also tried to import the Field 1 data with :

GRASS:~ > v.in.mif  input=/home/heiko/grassdaten/britain/9023NA.mif 
output=9023MIF logfile=/tmp/miflog.txt attribute=naname
 
or

GRASS:~ > v.in.mif  input=/home/heiko/grassdaten/britain/9023NA.mif 
output=9023MIF logfile=/tmp/miflog.txt attribute=Field1

but failed.

Any suggestions about the warnings,
PNT_TO_AREA failed -lines and the Field Data?

Best Regards
