Thanks a lot, I’ll try to do this. I hope it’s not a stupid question, but 
anybody knows what’s the best way of doing this? Seems like it is not so easy 
to clip a shapefile’s features to a grid using e.g. Quantum GIS… Google only 
has suggestion on how to clip raster data to a grid, but not vector data.

Best,
Jens
