[GRASSLIST:1917] Re: problem with grass5

[Hans van Walen]

Hi,

Some time ago I experienced something similar when downloading tar-balls for 
Linux through Win98. In the process Windows changed some of the .... 
(periods) in the name to  _ (underscores).
After I changed these the files could be unzipped etc.

Hope this helps.
Hans
