[GRASSLIST:4647] gshhs

[Ian MacMillan]

Hi all, I have imported the gshhs (full resolution) vector shoreline 
into a latlong location using Grass 5.3 without problems.  I would now 
like to bring it into 5.7.  The v.in.gshhs command is not available as 
near as I can tell with 5.7, so I am trying to use v.convert to go from 
5.3 vectors to 5.7.  The problem is that I have let v.convert run for 
18 hours now, and it says that it is only 4% done with attaching 
categories.  Something seems wrong here.  Has anybody imported gshhs 
full resolution data into 5.7?  How did you do it?

Thanks,
Ian

PS I am running on mac os 10.3.5 with 5.7 from Lorenzo Moretti's site, 
from roughly May, 2004.
