[GRASS-user] New User Question

Hello,
     I've just begun using Arc Map in conjunction with a piece of law enforcement software that my company uses.  I'm looking to find out some information on the compatibility of ESRI shape and database files with GRASS... Can anyone help??

Tim,

 You can import shapefiles into GRASS vector format using the v.in.ogr command.

(For completeness)

You can also access shapefiles (and other OGR formats) without actually
importing them using v.external. Importing with v.in.ogr is the preferred
method as it topologically checks and cleans your data.
