mapgen how to!

[Stephan Eickschen]

Jill,

thanks for your help, but I have still some problems. I have copied the
script mapgen4.1 to $GIS/scripts. I started GRASS, entered my MAPSET,
started mapgen4.1, was prompted if I want [e]xisting, (n)ew ..., entered
"n", entered the name of the desired map ("Topographie") and got:

>   Welcome to the SCS-GRASS/MAPGEN Interface version 4.13
>         Default options are enclosed in brackets [].
>         To accept the default type the return.

I couldn´t start _any_ of the scripts in $GIS/mapgen/interface, because
for
some reason - which I don´t understand - the PATH variable didn´t
change. All
the other setup succeded, as you might see from my excerpt from using
env
right at the mapgen-prompt (s. attachment).

Do you have any suggestions?

Regards,

	Stephan


P.S.:

> PATH=/usr/ucb:/bin:.:$GRAPH/bin:$GRAPH/interface:$PATH

	This path doesn´t exist on our machine; is it necessary?
