v.what in moon:/incoming

[Darrell McCauley]

v.what is a modification of (replacement for?) d.what.vect, which
was originally written by Jim Hinthorne and modified by Dennis Finch.
v.what accepts coordinates from
   stdin (redirected, piped from another program, or typed by the
          user) or
   the mouse (if the -i flag is specified)  
and gives categories information for lines and areas.

It can be used in shell scripts where coordinates of queries are
already known. Specifying the -i flag makes v.what act exactly like
d.what.vect.

A compressed cpio file, v.what.cpio.Z, has been placed in the incoming
directory on moon.cecer.army.mil. If you want to install this,
retrieve the file, place it in $GISBASE, then
  % zcat v.what.cpio.Z | cpio -idc 
The path begins with the src/ directory (this can be checked by using
the command 'zcat v.what.cpio.Z | cpio -itc'). Be sure the install
the man page by hand.

Alternatively, if you want to snatch this during normal working hours,
a compressed shar file is available via anonymous ftp from
pasture.ecn.purdue.edu:/pub/mccauley/grass, where the rest of my grass
programming work lives.
