       vv..ttoo..ssiitteess  - Converts point data in a binary GRASS vector

       The _v_._t_o_._s_i_t_e_s program extracts site  data  from  a  GRASS
       vector  map  layer  and	stores	output	in  a  new  GRASS
       site_lists file.  The resulting sites  map  layer  can  be
       used  with  such  programs  as _d_._s_i_t_e_s.	Only site (point)
       features in the named vector map layer are  extracted  and
       placed  into  the resulting site list.  Lines and areas in
       the vector file are ignored.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       The user can run the program non-interactively by specify-
       ing  the names of an existing vector _i_n_p_u_t map layer and a
       new site list file to be _o_u_t_p_u_t on the command line.   The
       program	will  be  run  interactively  if  the  user types
       vv..ttoo..ssiitteess without arguments on the command line.  In this
       case,  the user will be prompted to enter parameter values
       through the standard user interface described in the  man-
       ual entry for _p_a_r_s_e_r.

   PPaarraammeetteerrss::
       iinnppuutt==_n_a_m_e
	      Name  of	an  existing binary vector map layer from
	      which site data are to be extracted.

       oouuttppuutt==_n_a_m_e
	      Name to be assigned  to  the  resultant  _s_i_t_e___l_i_s_t_s
	      file.



       If  any of the sites have been labeled in _v_._d_i_g_i_t then the
       resultant site list will contain category information.  If
       none  of  the  sites are labeled, a binary (0/1) site list
       file will be produced.
