help -- m.dted.examine

[Virginia Jackson]

I am attempting to load Digital Terrain Elevation Data using the m.dted.extract
program and an error message appears on my screen very early in the game.  The 
program aborts during the "check argument" stage.

Using the original Grass 4.1 m.dted.examine program, I get the following:

    GRASS 4.1 > m.dted.extract input=/cdrom/dted/w097/n31.dt1
                output=w097_n31.out header=w097_n31.hdr north=31.15.00N 
                south=31.00.00N east=097.30.00W west=097.45.00W
    north=31.15.00N - illegal latitude

Using the m.dted.examine program from moon's /grass/incoming directory, I get
the following:

    GRASS 4.1 > m.dted.extract -u input=/cdrom/dted/w097/n31.dt1
                output=w097_n31.out header=w097_n31.hdr north=31.15.00N 
                south=31.00.00N east=097.30.00W west=097.45.00W
    north=31.15.00N - illegal latitude

You may have noticed that I am trying to load data from a CD-ROM, however,
I do not think that is an issue *yet*. 

The northern latitude seems to be such a basic ingredient.  I suspect that I 
have done something incorrectly or I am missing necessary information and/or 
programs.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
