>Is it possible to open UK Ordnance Survey data as obtained from EDINA into GRASS? I have .ntf files, and also .shp obtained from the .ntf bny MapManager (OSLINES.SHP etc). On importing the vector data with v.in.ogr I get ERROR: Layer .... not available.Are these files coded in some way so that they can be used only in ArcView? Thanks, John

Since OGR support it
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_ntf.html

it should also be accepted by v.in.ogr. What does

ogrinfo -so <yourfile.ntf>
say?
