[winGRASS] m.proj in batch mode without grass5 iin a dos window 2 questions?

[Andreas Lange]

Hi Bob,

there is a bunch of reasons why this can not work:

- windows xp is not yet supported with cygwin. The compiled binary for
cygwin will possibly not work. I do not plan to support windows xp until
cygwin officially announced support ;-).
- m.proj does not work from the command line, only interactive. Please
see the html-page for m.proj.
- you should use all grass commands from within cygwin or the paths are
not setup correct. If you use any grass exe from the dos shell or from
the mks you are on your own.

I just tested from the cygwin bash shell (logged into grass) that m.proj
works as described in the manual page. I did not check if the output
values are correct, but at least there are no NaN or inf values.

HTH,

Andreas
