Memory problem s.surf.tps

[Irina Kosinovsky]

In info.grass.user you write:

To get rid of this problem you might want to get the new version of
s.surf.tps. It is a part of interp.shar.Z file on moon.cecer.army.mil
(/grass/incoming directory)

When you get it, just "unpack" it and there will be 5 directories
including s.surf.tps. You will need to run gmake4.1 in all of them starting
with /tree and /data

Email me if you have any questions
