Good night.
As newbie I'm creating a map of the Falkland Islands using the NASA's SWBD 
shapefiles with GRASS 6.3RC6. After importing the ten tiles into GRASS in 
Lat/Lon, I merge them two by two using 'v.overlay' in order to have only one 
vector map. Isn't there a better way to merge several pieces of map in one big 
in one operation ? Should I use 'v.patch' ? When I try to use this last I've 
got an error message box 'couldn't execute "v.patch":invalid argument'. When I 
display this merged map, the sea areas are well displayed but I loose most of 
the lakes (the ones which weren't filled with any color in the separate tiles.
When I create a new project in UTM and re-project my map with 'v.proj', the 
module tells me that there are many (200) incorrect boundaries, as well as 
centroids outside area and areas without centroids, and when I display the map, 
several sea areas are white, showing me clearly that something didn't run fine. 
Can somebody tell me what is wrong ? Could it have something to do with the 
categories as I read in some threads ?

Thanks for your answers.
Eric
