In three days time I will be submitting a paper to Geomorphology where the
main research was made entirely with GRASS.

I was willing to ask you: right now when I mention I used GRASS I refer to
it like

"... GRASS GIS (© 1999-2010 GRASS Development Team) version is 6.4.0svn and
the main modules that compose ...."


and then when I talk about a specific module I say like

"....the minimum-watershed-size threshold was set to 100 cells (GRASS GIS
6.4.0svn Reference Manual, 2010)..."


Is it correct? If so, should I use the same two aforementioned references
at the reference list, but replacing "Programmer's Manual" by "Reference
Manual"?

Thanks for the help. I really want to do it right.

Best,

Marcello.
