This is what I got from grassu-list:
1) There is an idrisi2grass conversion program called grassidr.exe
available from ftp-server midget.towson.edu, dir /gis/modules. It
takes uncompressed idrisi raster files.
2) Vector data should be exported in ARCinfo `ungenerate' format, put
in a directory called `arc' under your Grass mapset, then imported
using v.in.arc.
3) There are other methods for converting raster files, but you do
not need them right now, so Good luck!
