Micha,

Reading the v.in.ascii manual page I see the one standard format example but
no explanation of how to write the data input files.

I have only the five points defining the rectangle and even specifying
'skip=5' the module is looking for a header. Where are the standard format
details described in detail?

Thanks,

Rich
