       vv..iinn..ddllgg..ssccss   - Developed to handle DLG-3 ASCII import of
       data, specifically a DLG WITHOUT category/attribute codes.
       DLG  files  with this affliction will require a flat ASCII
       file having a 1 to 1 correspondence between DLG area  num-
       ber and a text label.

       Under  normal circumstances the _v_._i_n_._d_l_g program will han-
       dle the requirements of reading DLG data and creating vec-
       tor maps from it.  However, _v_._i_n_._d_l_g assumes that the DLG-
       s file will contain major/minor category numbers;  this is
       NOT always the case.  In some instances, the user may want
       label names with the DLG data; the current DLG-3  specifi-
       cation does not provide that.  SCS has developed this pro-
       gram to meet that need.


       Notes:

	This program is normally  NOT  called  from  the  command
       line.
	      _v_._i_m_p_o_r_t will create the command string, then  exe-
	      cute it.
	      This program converts an ASCII DLG file to a binary
	      DLG file with attribute codes in	the  major  minor
	      fields,  and  creates a _d_i_g___c_a_t_s file with the cor-
	      rect   code/label   correspondence.   The   program
	      _v_._a_._b_._d_l_g  must be run after this program to create
	      the GRASS vector files.
	      It is assumed that the DLG data file contains  only
	      one  set	of  geographic information; ie. areas, or
	      lines, or points.  This program WILL FAIL if  mixed
	      data is encountered.
	      Degenerate  lines  are  accepted in this program as
	      point data.


       DLG.att File format

	The DLG.att attribute file format is simple:


       field 1 - DLG [area|line|point] number
       field 2 - Label
