s.surf.tps

[Simon Cox]

It's quite simple Ross:  for historical reasons (a miscommunication between
CERL people) the sitefile to input into s.surf.tps has the format

easting|northing|#value

ie the third field has hashes prefixed.  Yes, this does make it different
and incompatible with s.surf.idw.  I understand that by GRASS-5 this will
all be cleared up (and hopefully the whole sites schemozzle will be much
cleaner, thanks to Darrell McCauley's new specification).

Good luck
