Daniel,

   I thought a grid meant raster, not vector. I wonder why LiDAR data is
presented in a vector format rather than a raster DEM. Off-hand, I don't
know how I'll use vector maps for hydrological modeling, particularly storm
water runoff.

   In the meantime, I've switched focus to munging 30 years of river stage
height data. Still have 7 years to go. Tedious, even with emacs macros and
awk scripts, but I'll finish this effort before returning to the topography.

Many thanks,

Rich
