[GRASSLIST:4222] Importing Vectors

[Gordon Keith]

I have some regions defined in MapInfo I am trying to read into grass.

v.in.mif gives segmentation faults (5.0pre4) so I am trying to use 
v.in.ascii.

It is telling me:
ERROR: Can't read ascii file header


The file has the following header: 
ORGANIZAITON:
DIGIT DATE:
DIGIT NAME:
MAP NAME:     from Mapinfo MIF file
MAP DATE:
MAP SCALE:    0
OTHER INFO:
ZONE:         0
WEST EDGE:    130
EAST EDGE:    151
SOUTH EDGE:   -38
NORTH EDGE:   -30
MAP THRESH:   0   
VERTI:

Many of the fields I have left blank, as I am not sure what is required.

Does anyone know which fields are required and what values they should 
have?

I'm working in lat/lon coordinates, and the boundaries I have given 
encompass all the data.

Thanks in advance
Gordon
