http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/lrs.html

manual page is working:

*R. Blazek, 2004, Introducing the Linear Reference System in GRASS
<http://gisws.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/grass04/viewpaper.php?id=50>, Bangkok,
GRASS User Conf. Proc.*
*R. Blazek, 2005, Introducing the Linear Reference System in GRASS
<http://www.j-geoinfo.net/Content/fulmar05/IJG_095-100.pdf>, International
Journal of Geoinformatics, Vol. 1(3), pp. 95-100*

Does anybody have a better links, (share-able) PDFs or something similar?
