I would like to just read in a vector table that is stored in the

the spgrass6 package? I can just go to the dbf file of the grass
mapset, but I was looking for a better option. Thanks in advance.
kindest regards,
Stephen,
Do you mean read the GRASS vector, or just the DBF file? If the vector
with its attributes, readVECT6() in spgrass6, which I think you know of.
Otherwise, perhaps:
zz <- execGRASS("db.select", parameters=list(table="newbugs"),
intern=TRUE)
con <- textConnection(zz)
zzz <- read.table(con, header=TRUE, sep="|")
close(con)
Hope this helps,
Roger
