was it a pop-up box with a [Ok] button? or was it in the GUI's module output tab? (highlight then right click to copy) as a last resort you could take and post a screenshot of it (Alt-PrtScrn, then paste into Paint) what was the exact command line used to run r.sun? > Is there a known issue relating to windows? Not that I know of. It works for me using the sample Spearfish dataset: g.region -d r.sun -s elevin=elevation.dem day=355 beam=elev.355.beam --verbose can you get it to fail with one of the standard sample datasets?

On Mac and Linux there is also the option to use the old i.points module to set that up, but that won't work on MS Windows (unless you use the Cygwin build). of course you have to give it some hints about how to do the transform. > The imported file only displays in part. run g.region to set the computational region settings to match the raster map? > Is there a size limit (the file is c. 80k col x 40k row). large file support (>2gb) currently does not work in WinGrass. see https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows#Errata (but works fine for Mac and Linux) a raster map of that size is probably exceeding that limit. can you break it up into smaller chunks? > Haven't been able to find out how to display a vector > file that consists of characters as codes that correpond to > a file of polygons - only 'centroids' show. I don't understand that, could you explain it more?
