[GRASS-user] grass 6.3cvs stability

[Malte Halbey-Martin]

Hi
as far  as I see, you used the -l switch which causes v.in.ogr to list 
all available layer and exit without importing the shape file. Just turn 
out that switch
(on the command line:

v.in.ogr dsn=C:/ESRI/ESRIDATA/WORLD/CITIES.SHP output=cities.grc min_area=0.0001 snap=-1 

or disable the button in the gis manager)



and than it must work. normally a status of the import is displayed. You 
can check if the import worked on the command line with:

g.list vect
