Thank you Markus. I’m glad I stuck with GRASS long enough to find a solution.
I’m very fortunate to discover this user group, too. As I looked through the
archive for the last two years I found lots of interesting and helpful messages.
One additional and brief question: in attempting to debug the script I’m
curious regarding any software suggestions you might have for that task. Of
course, experience & knowledge play a crucial role but any debugging software
might be helpful. Any suggestions?
Thanks again. Your answers uniformly provide the reasons for the errors. Many
thanks.
