Well, some problems are still there:         (8. Apr. 1998)


-------------------------------------------------------------------
The BIG Spring ´98 GRASS 4.2.1 check...
Read here!
-------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Problems to compile these modules: - they are based on the new sites API
 
     - src421/untested/sites/
            s.info
            s.probplt
            s.kcv
            s.qcount 
            s.delaunay_2 
            s.normal
            s.rand  
            s.univar
            s.perturb 
            s.sample
   Maybe it would be nice to integrate this new API in all sites modules.
   That would be some conversion work - can you help?

2. r.nntool is still not working properly on Linux...  

3. XGRASS can be compiled, but is not yet stable.
   Especially xdigit lacks the "backdrop raster cell map" function.

4. What is missing?
     - We need more vector modules! What about vector analysis,
       network analysis etc., vector spline interpolation (after 
       r.to.vect)?
 
     - Map creation is a weak point in GRASS. Do you know a nice program 
       (with interface to GRASS)? Who got xmapgen running?
 
     - More information about digitizer support and more definition files
       for other standard digitizer models
 
     - If anyone has a working interface to POSTGRES (free
       DataBaseManagmentSystem), send a mail (or the interface)
       My suggestion is to improve 
          src421/untested/dbms/grass-postgres/
       in the GRASS 4.2.1 package.
