NAME
     ISMgrd2cell - Convert an ISM grid data file into a GRASS
     (binary) raster map layer.
     (GRASS Raster Data Import Program)

SYNOPSIS
     ISMgrd2cell
     ISMgrd2cell help
     ISMgrd2cell input=name output=name mult=multiplier

DESCRIPTION
     ISMgrd2cell allows a user to create a (binary) GRASS raster
     map layer from an ISM grid data file with (optional)
     multiplier.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
     Parameters:

     input=name          Name of ISM grid data input file.

     output=name         Name to be assigned to binary GRASS
                         raster map layer files created.

     mult=multiplier     Each grid data point is multiplied by
                         this (floating point) number to produce
                         the raster values (default = 1).

     If the user simply types ISMgrd2cell without specifying
     parameter values on the command line, the program will
     prompt the user to enter these.


NOTES
     Since GRASS raster values are integers, it may often be
     necessary to use mult when working with small or closely
     spaced values in the ISM grid data in order to produce a
     greater range in the raster file. Even though the user is
     allowed to use a floating point multiplier, remember that
     the final raster value is truncated to an integer.
