Martijn:

With the WIN95/NT Version of GRASSLAND one can ONLY have a single Database
open at any one time, therefore the Sample "Spearfish" Dataset should be
closed before opening your existing GRASS Database.

Additionally X-Y Raster Types are NOT supported in GRASSLAND, but may be
viewed if a "false" UTM Zone is given before georeferencing
("DEFAULT_WIND", "WIND" & "cellhd/*"): 

     "proj:" 0 ---> 1
     "zone:" 0 ---> ?

With a UTM Zone Selected the files "PROJ_INFO" and "PROJ_UNITS" as
generated by "g.setproj" will be required.
