Hamish, thanks for answering. The problem is both in WinGRASS-6.4.2RC2-1-Setup.exe from [1] and on daily WinGRASS-6.4.SVN-r49821-1-Setup.exe from [2]. Problem raises starting GRASS. Then, GRASS starts without the terminal. Thanks for any hint, madi [1] http://grass.fbk.eu/grass64/binary/mswindows/native/ [2] http://wingrass.fsv.cvut.cz/grass64/ > > > Hamish > -- Eng.
