[GRASS-web] getting started with grass 6.4

[Scott Mitchell]

The mailing list you have posted to is dedicated to issues with the GRASS web server, and has relatively few subscribers.  The mailing list that you probably want for these questions is the GRASS Users list - see http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user

Good luck,

Scott Mitchell

Read as much as I could find about free gis, downloaded and installed the files needed for Grass 6.4, created the needed directories and started it. unfortunately all I have managed to get oen is the terminal box and the first wizard screens. In it I have tried several ways to create a localization to Israel and my site (including use of georeferenced dwg file and prj files but nothing was added to the directory or to the list and there no way to turn on the MapSet preparation button.

I also hate bothering you as I know there should be no support for it but having a deadline on next tuesday left me no other choice.

I also have a folder sent to me from arcinfo with the following file types: .dbf  .sbn  .sbx  shp  .shp.xml  .shx  .prj. I trust that unlike me they will mean something to you.
