<TITLE>help file incorrect for v.in.ascii</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I just tested something and found out that the helpfile is incorrect for v.in.ascii (although my often faulty memory was correct). <BR>
<BR>
The helpfile says that you can specify which columns are used for the x and y coordinates. However, this generates an error. <BR>
<BR>
I remembered that in the past, the x and y columns MUST be the the first 2. When we changed our text file to have x and y in columns 1 and 2, it reads the file fine.<BR>
<BR>
We’re doing this with GRASS 6.3 on Windows AND Mac.<BR>
