GRASS>How to undelete vector lines?

[Malcolm Williamson]

This takes care of _half_ the problem, the attributes. To recover the 
actual geometry, you must run v.out.ascii to produce an ASCII version of 
the file. Edit the file the same way that Brian notes below, i.e., change 
lower case "a" and "l" to upper case. Use v.in.ascii to re-import the 
file. Run v.support when you are finished. Note that this restores _all_ 
deleted features.
