Problem with v.in.arc

[Michael Shapiro]

The files have to be placed in a subdirectory in your mapset called arc
(this is explained in the manual entyr for v.in.arc). You will have to create
this directory by hand: cd $LOCATION; mkdir arc
Then put your arc/info files in this directory. v.in.arc will then find them.

|My colleague, Cindy Bell, is having a problem running v.in.arc.
|She goes through the procedure in ARC/INFO to create the lines_in,
|points_in, and text_in files then she fires up v.in.arc, puts in 
|proper file names and parameter values and it blows up  with:
|   "could not locate the arc lines file"
|She's tried putting the lines_in file in different places thinking
|that the path name was causing the problem, but always with the
|same result.
|If anyone can shed light on how to fix this, we'd appreciate it.
|You can reply here or to Cindy directly (cindy at geo.arc.nasa.gov).
|Thanks in advance!
