When I run v.dissolve on my vector...

*v.dissolve --o input=pass2@mapset1 layer=1 column=fttcp output=pass3*

The dissolving appears to work but the column name in the attribute table
has changed from 'fttcp' to 'cat'. (I can tell by loading the GRASS vector
into QGIS and viewing the attribute table).

Also, although the input has a dbf file, the output does not.

Is there a way to tell v.dissolve to retain the original column name or is
there a way to rename it?

Also, is there a reason v.dissolve doesnt write a dbf. Is there a way to get
it to write the attribute table to a dbf or is there a way to convert the
vector so it uses a dbf?

I am using GRASS 6.4.2 on windows 7
