[GRASS-user] Importing ArcASCII raster and associated dbf table?

[Devereux, Jarl M]

Hi

I'm new to grass and I'm trying to import an ArcASCII raster file with
an associated dbf table into a cygwin grass 6.2.
I have been using r.in.gdal to import the raster without issue however
handling the attribute data is still a mystery to me.

Can I connect a raster to a dbf table or add the attributes as layers?

The db.* commands seemed to be only vector based so I converted the
raster to an area vector using the raster values as the cat. I am not
sure of the steps to copy or attach the arc dbf table. my cat values are
not consecutive and the .dbf table that accompanied the data doesn't
have a "cat" column it has a consecutive "value" column instead. How do
I go about adding this table to the vector so it correctly matches up
"value" and "cat"?

Thanks in advance
