I sent this originally on 8/5/2010, but it never got posted.
I have been using GRASS for 5 months. I feel pretty good about writing code for processing and manipulating rasters. But I seem to have trouble with vectors. My goal was to import GADM (well-known admin boundary file) into GRASS. I have it as a shapefile. It is around a gigabyte in size. It has taken me nearly 3 months (with the computer grinding away for most of the three months, night and day) in importing a country at a time, then merging them together. Does anybody already have GADM in GRASS format? Second, is there any way to import polygon files more efficiently or effectively? Thanks for your help!
