GRASS's link to RIM?

[Malcolm Williamson]

I found manual pages for the following:
	v.in.tig.rim
	tig.rim.sh
	s.db.rim
	s.db.rim.old
	v.db.rim
	v.db.rim.old

You'll find the source code for these programs under src.garden (yes, 
you'll have to compile, if you haven't already). You might find the 
grass/informix programs more useful, if you have that database. That code 
has also been adapted for a couple other relational databases; I'm sure 
someone else on this list could provide more information along that line.

Good luck,
	-Malcolm
