DXF files from ARC/INFO

[NYC Dept. of Environmental Protection]

Hello, Olga!
I suggest that you convert DXF text into arcinfo format and store it
as a label file. Then you use arcdlg command and create DLG file with
labels, containing your text. Then you use in GRASS command v.import
and just do it!
Happy New Year! S Novym Godom!
