 when im trying to input a costline in mapgen format  taken from the said
 site, I encounter the following:

 v.in.mapgen  input=/home/nikos/datagis/coastline/6888.dat output=coastline

 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):

 with the following command:

 v.in.mapgen -f input=/home/nikos/datagis/coastline/6888.dat
 output=coastline
 {{{

 Im attaching the said coastline for further investigation.
