       _s_._t_o_._v_e_c_t  converts  GRASS  site_lists  file  into  vector
       files.	The  resulting	vector file can be treated as any
       other vector file.  The	requirements  of  the  site_lists
       file  are standard (i.e., a regular site_lists file format
       is required).  site_lists file values are used as dig_cats
       category values.

       iinnppuutt==_n_a_m_e
	      Name  of	input  GRASS  site_lists  file to be con-
	      verted.

       oouuttppuutt==_n_a_m_e
	      Name to be assigned to the vector output file.

       ccaatt==_t_y_p_e_,_i_n_d_e_x
	      Field type  ("string",  "dim",  or  "decimal")  and
	      index  to  use  for  the	vector category value. By
	      default, the category number is used.  The _t_y_p_e  is
	      the  site_lists  attribute  type of "string", "dim"
	      (or dimension), or "decimal".  The _i_n_d_e_x is a posi-
	      tive  integer  attribute	number	for the specified
	      _t_y_p_e.  That is, the second "string" attribute would
	      be  "2"  or  the	fourth dimension would be "four".
	      For the "dim" type, the _i_n_d_e_x must be greater  than
	      2.


NNOOTTEESS
       The  specification  for site_lists allows category numbers
       to be missing or to be floating point.	Since  attributes
       in  vector  layers are linked by positive integers, when a
       site_lists file has floating  point  or	missing  category
       numbers,  a positive sequential numbering is used instead.
       This may have the unfortunate  side-effect  of  generating
       different  category  numbers  for category values that are
       exactly the same.
