So, what is new in GRASS 4.2.1? (1. Nov. 1999) The major point is a lot of bugfixing. For floating point support in raster files, please use GRASS 5.0. In details: Cursor keys working in text screens src-directory (CERL and Baylor): some minor bugfixing. display/devices/XDRIVER_24 # full 24 bit driver (truecolor now) mapdev/v.mkquads # same as other but you can make quarter quads, thirds, 1x3 documents-directory (Markus Neteler): modules # some module documents instructions/welcome.html # the compiling instructions instructions/grass-doc-proj/welcome.html # Grass Documentation Project from Internet tutorials # some more nice tutorials html # Man-pages in HTML format src.alpha-directory (Baylor): [new: some bugfixing] r.nntool (corrected 1/1/98, 27.1.98) r.casc2d r.flow # computes flow lines r.water.fea r.stage3 r.sun fire # wildfire simulation (corrected 4.
