       _r_._i_n_._a_r_c  allows  a user to create a (binary) GRASS raster
       map layer from an  ESRI	ARC/INFO  ascii  GRID  file  with
       (optional) title.

   PPaarraammeetteerrss::
       iinnppuutt==_n_a_m_e
	   Name  of an existing ASCII raster file to be imported.

       oouuttppuutt==_n_a_m_e
	   Name to be assigned to  resultant  binary  raster  map
	   layer.

       ttiittllee==
	   Title to be assigned to resultant raster map layer.

       mmuulltt==_m_u_l_t_i_p_l_i_e_r
	   Multiply  all raster cell values by _m_u_l_t_i_p_l_i_e_r. _m_u_l_t_i_-
	   _p_l_i_e_r is a floating point value,  and  has  a  default
	   value of 1.0.

       The  iinnppuutt  file  has a header section which describes the
       location and size  of  the  data,  followed  by	the  data
       itself.

       The header has 6 lines:

	    nrows:
	    xllcorner:
	    yllcorner:
	    cellsize:
       or  alternatively  (not	supported  in r.in.arc, but in <a
       href=r.in.gdal.html>r.in.gdal):

	    nrows:
	    xllcenter:
	    yllcenter:
	    cellsize:


NNOOTTEESS
       _r_._i_n_._a_r_c handles floating point cell values. The mmuulltt
       option allows the  number  of  significant  figures  of	a
       floating point cell
       to be increased before importing. Multiples of ten are the
       most functional
       multipliers.
