Yes, but I have noticed that opening dig_att file for updating it erase
all the previous content.  I wonder if this grass lib "feature" must be
changed...  I will try to have a closer look at the library and maybe
propose some change (opening for writing may clean the file, but not
opening for updating...)

Yes.

Yes, this will also work... if one can write mixed dig_att file, as I say
above...
