Hi all,

I have added DMS LatLong support to v.in.ascii (6.1-CVS):

echo "85:46:05.14203W|43:00:07.320715N" | v.in.ascii out=test
Maximum input row length: 33
Maximum number of columns: 2
Minimum number of columns: 2
Building topology ...
1 primitives registered
Building areas:  100%
0 areas built
0 isles built
Attaching islands:
Attaching centroids:  100%
Topology was built.
Number of nodes     :   1
Number of primitives:   1
Number of points    :   1
Number of lines     :   0
Number of boundaries:   0
Number of centroids :   0
Number of areas     :   0
Number of isles     :   0

v.out.ascii test
-85.76809501|43.00203353|1

Please update from CVS and test. 
If it works, we can backport to GRASS 6.0-CVS.

Cheers

 Markus
