polygons that share a common boundry(?)y

[Marty McKimmey]

> It is my understanding that this is part of the complex problem 
  of importing InterGraph to GRASS.  We had the Intergraph files
  coverted to DXF then imported them into GRASS.  Yes, I got two
  lines per shared polygon boundary.  The only solution I can fine
  at this time, is to import to GRASS digit format, plot the file
  and scan the file using Scan CAD and editing with LTPlus. If your
  line work is not that complex, v.digit is the best choise.  If 
  it is complex, then scanning might be one answer.  For our problem 
  we are going to hand digitize the labels.  If your labels are in 
  the DXF file these can be converted into labels with v.in.dxf (see
  manual pages).  If the labels are not there, you can import them if 
  you can get them in an ascii format of easting, northing, and value 
  and copy this file to the dig_att directory and run v.support.  
  Otherwise, the only choise is v.digit.
