Hello Brad,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your thoughts. I wrote the code with assistance, so have
some advantages there. But, disadvantage is that I have not followed
GRASS updates since 5.2 or so. For example, I did not know there was a
problem with using stderr, stdout, or files. Can someone explain what
should be done instead? <br>
<br>
Yes, it could be removed from the production branches if you like.
Until I work on it, there probably won't be fixes. But, if someone who
knows GRASS revisions could help, then maybe this could be done more
quickly? But, eventually I would like it to work, and I will slowly get
up to speed and fix it even if no one has time (with some occasional
help).<br>
<br>
One thing that would help me right away would be if someone would
quickly scan the source code to see any obvious inconsistencies with
6.xxx.<br>
<br>
r.le.dist was never ported to the 5.XXX revision, as I ran out of time
to do that. So, it would require a much larger revision. <br>
<br>
r.le.patch, r.le.setup, and r.le.pixel I think should not be so hard.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello,
I may (still uncertain!) slowly try to get r.le programs to work under
6.X. Here is what I see as problems to be fixed. If anyone knows of
other problems, let me know:
1. r.le.setup fails when a sitefile is requested--update needed
2. r.le.setup does not display properly in the display window
3. with gis.m, r.le.setup does not connect to display window
4. r.le.pixel crashes with a memory problem
5. no r.le.dist program

William,
r.le needs major work. It has not been touched in several years and I'm
a bit surprised that it still works at all. I got a start on it last
week by at least resolving compiler errors/warnings for r.le.patch, but
I didn't really attempt to fix anything.
Is there anyone who has the time to deal with r.le in the near term? It
will be a fairly time consuming project if you plan on updating text I/O
(it references stderr, stdout, and files extensively).
What happened to r.le.dist, anyway? Would it be best to remove r.le
from production branches (6.2) until it works reliably again?
