Yes. Both the NC sample data dir and my old data dir are on the same drive  
and owned by me. Grass63 (and now Grass64) both see the NC sample dataset  
but not my old dataset. Curiously, if I select the old dataset dir and try  
to create a new location with the name of the existing location, Grass  
complains that it can't do so as "...location already exists", but it  
won't show it in the startup window.

I will leave this percolate for a while and hopefully see another way of  
looking at the problem.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
