       _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 converted.

       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  positive
	      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  dif-
       ferent  category numbers for category values that are exactly the same.
