[GRASSGUI] 2000 TIGER data with GRASS5

[Steve Kimball]

I am trying to use the latest U.S Census Data TIGER files
in GRASS 5.  The TIGER/GRASS tutorials are dated 1992.
A lot has changed since then.  The current TIGER files are
SHP, SHX and DBF files.  Do I use v.in.shape or v.in.tig.basic?

I need to plot points on a 
street map given latitude-longitude coordinates.

Thanks.

Steve
