   I've not before encountered 'file too large' ...

   But this explains it:

  2147483647 Jan 22 07:39 /usr4/grassbase/Oregon/PERMANENT/cell/demOR

   That's a 2G file size for 10m resolution DEM of the entire state. Wow!

   What's the best strategy for decreasing file size? Do I not make a
state-wide DEM but make 2 or three instead? Should I keep the 9 separate
maps and concatenate as necessary for specific projects?

   This has been a _very_ useful lesson.

GRASS 6.5.svn (Oregon):/usr4/grassbase > r.mapcalc 'test = rand(9999)'
Too few arguments (1) to function rand()
Parse error

Thanks,
