DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       _v_._i_n_._t_i_g_._r_i_m  imports  Census line data (called TIGER) and
       creates a "master" binary vector file containing  a  large
       amount of data.	Various map layers can then be created by
       querying information from the  master  vector  file  using
       _v_._d_b_._r_i_m
	or  one  of the _G_e_n_. shell scripts listed in the SEE ALSO
       section, below.	The database name (_d_b_n_a_m_e) given  on  the
       command	line  will  be the name of the rim data base, and
       the master vector file in GRASS will be named "dbname.Mas-
       ter".  The master vector file will include all information
       from the type1 and type2 TIGER files given on the  command
       line  as  _i_n_1_f_i_l_e  and  _i_n_2_f_i_l_e.  If the user simply types
       _v_._i_n_._t_i_g_._r_i_m on the command line, all parameters  will  be
       queried	using  the standard GRASS parser described in the
       manual entry for _p_a_r_s_e_r

NNOOTTEESS
       TIGER data are presented in latitude/longitude format, and
       are converted to UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) coor-
       dinates as part of this importing routine.   The  spheroid
       used in the conversion is clark 66, as it is the most con-
       sistent with the original data.


       This command must be compiled separately, and requires the
       use  of	_r_i_m and _v_._d_b_._r_i_m which contain FORTRAN code.  The
       user must have access to a FORTRAN compiler  in	order  to
       compile	and use this command, since it calls both _r_i_m and
       _v_._d_b_._r_i_m.


       If the user does not know the UTM zone for this data input
       file, the command _m_._t_i_g_e_r_._r_e_g_i_o_n
	should be run first to determine the zone.


       _v_._s_u_p_p_o_r_t  must	be  run  separately on the output file if
       needed.
