Hi Moritz,

See some answers below. I'm copying Javi so that he can respond directly
too.

Windows XP (I don't know if there is a specific version number or not. I can
ask him in the lab later this morning). It is an English-language version of
XP, so there are not undetected issues with languages and translations.

This is a help. I'm going to try to get a student in my lab to try it too.

v.in.db. We are using a dbf file that we've created in OpenOffice (to avoid
Excel issues). It certainly looks perfectly good.

How would we go about setting this?

He launches it from a shortcut on the desktop to the grass63.bat file (I
don't know where the original is, but will ask him). I can ask him to send
you his bat file too. I think he got it from your site.

Thanks for all the help.
