[GRASSLIST:10255] Re: gismlegend.txt problem

[Michael Barton]

You should already have v.univar.sh in a normal GRASS distribution. However,
it looks like you needed the new d.vect.thematic.

You are also correct that you need to install v.what if you want to do
vector querying. 

These steps are listed in the README file that accompanies the version of
the GIS Manager that comes from my web site. All the appropriate files
should also be in the cvs.

Let me know if they are not.

Glad it is working.

Michael
