Currently, you can't. G__gisinit() calls G_init_env() which reads both environment files into memory. The functions which read these files will not attempt to read them again if they're already in memory. You would need to modify lib/gis/env.c to allow the "VAR" environment to be forcibly re-read (and without first re-reading the "gisrc" environment, as that will restore the original current mapset). -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
