So, what is new in GRASS 4.2.1 (22. September 1998)
and what is the difference to BAYLOR´s version?
The major point is a lot of bugfixing. There is still no
floating point in raster files, but we all hope for GRASS 5.0
in summer 1998.
The difference between my package and the original Baylors GRASS 4.2
are
- elimination of errors in several modules (read history file)
- changed r.le 2.1 to version 2.2
- cleaning the package structure
- addition of lots of modules (see below in src.alpha).
- tcltkgrass - the new graphical user interface is added
We currently plan to produce update packages for Baylor's GRASS 4.2.
In details:
src-directory (CERL and Baylor):
some minor bugfixing.
display/devices/XDRIVER_24 # 24 bit driver (supports 8bit as well)

quarter quads, thirds, 1x3

modules # some module documents
instructions/welcome.html # the compiling instructions
instructions/grass-doc-proj/welcome.html # Grass Documentation Project from Internet
