[GRASS-user] Missing v.generalize in Grass 6.23

[Roger André]

Excellent, thank you.  Am I correct then in assuming that I can treat all of
my multipolygon data as type=boundary for the purposes of using
v.generalize?  The end goal is to buffer the geometry and then export it
back out as a shapefile.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Roger
