dlg's, standard/optional format

[Jim Stafford]

Eric,
Thanks for your reply to my inquiry. Since no one replied that a solution
exists for importing dlg3 standard format files into grass I have
developed a routine that converts dlg3 standard ascii files to dlg3
optional ascii files.  So far I've imported a number of USGS dlg3 standard
format files with good success using v.import after converting with my
program.  If any one else needs this capability, let me know and I will
ftp the compressed c source code to grass/incoming at CERL.  All you
need to use the program is a c compiler.  
Sincerely,
Jim Stafford
