[GRASS-dev] Re: wx init.sh needs updating

[Michael Barton]

William,

I thought that the cvs version of init.sh was the one to use now. Please go
ahead and make the one further change. We should get rid of the init.sh in
the svn repository and instructions that say to use it. If you take care of
init.sh in the cvs, I'll take care of the svn version. Thanks for noticing
this.

I started messing around with a python replacement for init.sh, just to see
what is needed. It is going pretty well, but tedious. Once done (and
probably won't work right off) it could be a good opportunity to clean up
the start up script for GRASS. Thinking ahead to a time when the same script
can start GRASS on all platforms.

Michael
