[GRASSLIST:8715] Gridding xyz data

[Patton, Eric]

Hi guys,

It seems like such a simple task, but I can't seem to find a module to grid
xyz files:

733235.580 5011799.520 -12.693
733236.180 5011799.560 -12.685
733239.160 5011799.560 -12.692
733235.520 5011800.520 -12.693
....

Is there a module that will create rasters from this data format, or,
alternatively, is there a handy way of massaging this data into
Grass-friendly format?

Thanks,

~ Eric.
