[GRASSLIST:3116] v.support and general vector question

[I.T.H. Deyzel]

Good day all,

I hope someone can help me.

I've compiled pre3 on RH7.2

I've imported a vector catchment file from .e00 using m.in.e00. The file
is imported succesfully but I can't seem to get the attributes and
labels to correspond. I did copy the 'catch.catnum' file as 'catch' so
that the category file correspond to the vector's name. If I query the
vector field I get the incorrect label information. I've tried importing
with m.in.e00 -i option, but to no avail. Have anyone experienced such
difficulties using m.in.e00? It might be that the .e00 encoding differs
a bit from what m.in.e00 expects or else I'm missing something.

I've been trying to fix the dig_att and dig_cats files manually so that
they correspond to reality (what a tedious task!), but when running
v.support I get errors unknown to me. Please help.

* the error : PNT_TO_AREA failed: (29.150000, -22.210000) (Category 2) -
does it indicate that the polygon is open and that is unable to label
it?

* WARNING: area 20 label: 17 matched another label: 22. - is the label
positions to close together? How can I fix this.

Thank you for your help. Apprecieated.

Here follows the complete output from v.support:
