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.Master".  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 .

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
   PPaarraammeetteerrss::
       ddbbnnaammee==_n_a_m_e
	      Vector/rim data name (with a maximum of 7 characters).

       iinn11ffiillee==_n_a_m_e
	      TIGER type1 input file name.

       iinn22ffiillee==_n_a_m_e
	      TIGER type2 input file name.

       zzoonnee==_v_a_l_u_e
	      Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zone in which these data are
	      located.
	      Options:	-60 - 60


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