[GRASSLIST:1842] Russia query/DCW script

[Michael Ash]

Someone recently posted a query about how to import and
combine vmap0/dcw data on Russia.  I downloaded each of the
countries of Africa from http://www.maproom.psu.edu/dcw/
(but this should the same as the files at www.GISdepot.com)
and used the shell script below to import, combine, and
assign the right labels to data for each country into a
single Africa location.

BTW, I wrote the shell script to work with GRASS 5.0, and it
will need revision to work with the more recent revisions
(new directory structure).

I download Digital Chart of the World (VMAP0) data on a
country-by-country basis in .e00 (ESRI export) format from
http://www.maproom.psu.edu/dcw/

I believe that the data in .e00 format are an ESRI product
made available for free in a slightly inconvenient format.
I then use the attached script to import and organize the
data, e.g., to assign the correct dig_cats files, etc.  Let
me know if I can help with the script.

Best,

Michael
