Fixed

Fixed

> Display standard GRASS fonts - show.fonts.sh is missing

This script does not exist in GRASS 6 (someone could rewrite it I suppose)

This is a problem in X11 also. Fixed (changed to spawn r.flow).

But this is a module that has problems or execute would work. There are
others with similar issues among the hydrologic modeling group also.

This will be fixed after 6.0 stable is released.

I don't know about this one. Not fixed.

Both fixed (and a couple of others with similar issues)

V.in.ascii should be working fine now AFAIK. There is a check box (flag) for
r.in.gdal and for v.in.ogr that lists which formats are read. The easiest is
to have a single import routine that reads anything (i.e., even more
minimalistic than we now have--like GrafikConverter)
