Version 4.12 of LTPlus has, in its bin directory, a program called
mosstograss.  This program can work outside of LTPlus and I have used
it recently (this afternoon!).  It takes a MOSS file and creates an
ASCII digit file, an attribute file, and a category file to be placed
in the appropriate location in GRASS.  I haven't checked to see if I
can get all quads for a soil survey area to come with similar attributes,
but this program meets all other needs.  It will be easy to set up some
scripts to handle mass file conversion.

Many thanks to Jim Schmidt of the California USFS for pointing out that
such a program exists, and many thanks to Keri Gibbs of the Portland
USDA-SCS for letting me know that the update disks for LTPlus that
contained this program had been sitting in my desk drawer for several
months now!
