[GRASSLIST:1606] gtopo30.dem

[Seppo Kaitala]

Dear grasslist


I am working with grass5.0v11beta.
I am importing  gtopo file with the command

r.in.bin -s input=E020N90.DEM output=gtopo30 bytes=2 north=90
south=40
east=60
west=20 r=6000 c=4800

It seems to import correctly, but when I explore the dem for
elevation
with the command
d.what.rast it gives correct  cordinates but the elevation values
are
just nonsense, although for instance the coastline is correct.  I
import
the dem file directly form cd-rom, which I got from US Geological
Survay.

It did work with 5.0v10beta.


What might be the problem.

Best regards
