.SH NAME
\fIISMann2dig\fR \- Converts an ISM annotation data file to a binary
GRASS vector (dig) file.

\fBISMann2dig\fR

.SH DESCRIPTION
This program converts an ISM annotation data file into a binary
GRASS vector (\fIdig\fR) file.

\fIISMann2dig\fR also creates a \fIdig_att\fR file containing the label
information 'stripped' from the ISM annotation file.
However, the user must run \fIv.support\fR (or \fIv.import\fR option 4)
on the \fIoutput\fR file created by \fIISMann2dig\fR to create a
\fIdig_plus\fR file containing the file topology, before using the
\fIoutput\fR file in \fIv.digit\fR.
.SH COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
.LP
\fBParameters:\fR
.IP \fBinput\*=\fIname\fR 18
Name of ISM annotation data input file.
.IP \fBoutput\*=\fIname\fR 18
Name to be assigned to the binary GRASS vector files created.
.LP
If the user simply types \fIISMann2dig\fR without specifying parameter
values on the command line, the program will prompt the user to enter these.
.SH NOTES
.LP
GRASS does not currently support multiple line styles and colors, but any
existing text labels in the annotation data file are used to identify
unique attributes for dig vectors.
