Bill,
As a member of the GRASS development team, this is of interest. While I
don't have the time to work on this nest of snakes, I'd like to post this on
the GRASSlist and see who might step up. There might be some hapless grad
student at Baylor <g> who could be coerced into working on it.
This would also fit into the plans to release a GPL GRASS for the
Win9x/Nx/2x platforms, too.
