[GRASS-user] Processing LiDAR data in GRASS GIS

[Adrian Kirilov]

     Hello Hamish and Mark,

     This way is a lot more easy! Probably it would take me a lot of time
to find it myself :-)

     Thank you for the help and keep doing the good job for GRASS and the
community!


     Greetings,

     Adrian Kirilov
