[GRASS5] New GIS & GRASS5 user with many questions...

[Alex Shevlakov]

GRASS5 is compiled, and appears to run, but are there any sample data 
sets I can use to test and familiarize myself with GRASS5? 
----------
Yes there are. Please download the Spearfish data from the GRASS main site.
This is standard to begin with.
You may also take other data and create them yourself.
-------------------------------------------
**********  Output from testgrass.sh **********
org:/install/grass5.0.0pre3 # ./testgrass.sh
testing in UTM projection environment:
projection: 1 (UTM)
zone:       13
datum:      ** unknown (default: WGS84) **
ellipsoid:  ** unknown (default: WGS84) **
north:      4928000
south:      4914000

Test the -129 r.mapcalc bug:

EXECUTING testmap = ...  100%

r.mapcalc bug test o.k.
Tests finished.

My goal is to display county level data sets, currently in FIPS codes, 
onto a map of the US, and individual states. I'd like to deliver the 
images via webserver to clients using a browser. 
----
This is what program called 'grasslinks' handles; I have a working site
at http://tigers.ru/webgrass_e
----------------------------------

As I perused the 
programming manual, I noticed that there are limitations to html's ability to 
render clickable points, which I can work through later, 
-----------------------------
I can't quite understand to that point. You want to click a point in browser 
and read associated info?
--------------------------
but I'd like 
to know if I'm on the right track in using GIS & GRASS5. 
-------------------
Absolutely.
-----------------------------
Also, any 
links, hints or info anyone can provide to additional information would be 
greatly appreciated.

Have you looked at http://grass.itc.it (links, infos, htmls,...)?
