Dear Gstat users,

My intention is to use variogram information to predict forest stand
attributes. To do that I need to get the sample variograms (and 
possibly
the variogram model parameters) from every stand from an aerial
photograph. The aerial photo is in the Arc/Info grid format and the 
stand
boundaries are in an Arc/Info coverage. Now I have two questions:

1) When I tried to read the boundaries from a tiny area into Gstat, I 
got
the following message

Warning: cannot read 7 integers from `ARC  2
'

What went wrong? My command file looks like this:
#
# gstat command file, Sparc version 2.3.0 (01 December 2000)
# Thu Jan 18 16:06:02 2001
#
data(c1): 'koeg.txt';
variogram(c1): 1047.61 Sph(5.41943);
set fit = 1;
edges: 'koe.e00';

and the boundary file begins like this:
EXP  0 /DATA6/ANTTILA/KOE.E00                                     

ARC  2
         1       619       424       424         1         2         4
 3.5018355E+06 6.9378395E+06 3.5018555E+06 6.9378400E+06
 3.5018335E+06 6.9378190E+06 3.5018355E+06 6.9378395E+06
        -1         0         0         0         0         0         0 CNT
 2
         0 3.5018730E+06 6.9378305E+06
...

2) Is my approach right at all, in other words is it possible to 
calculate all the variograms at the same time using these data with 
Gstat?

I would be really grateful of any piece of advice, suggestions and 
comments.

Best regards,
Perttu
