       vv..iinn..ddllgg..ssccss  - Developed to handle DLG-3 ASCII import of data, specif-
       ically a DLG WITHOUT category/attribute codes.	DLG  files  with  this
       affliction  will  require  a flat ASCII file having a 1 to 1 correspon-
       dence between DLG area number and a text label.

       Under  normal  circumstances  the  _v_._i_n_._d_l_g  program  will  handle  the
       requirements  of  reading  DLG  data  and creating vector maps from it.
       However, _v_._i_n_._d_l_g assumes that the DLG-s file will contain  major/minor
       category numbers;  this is NOT always the case.	In some instances, the
       user may want label names with the DLG data; the current DLG-3 specifi-
       cation  does  not provide that.	SCS has developed this program to meet
       that need.


       Notes:

	This program is normally NOT called from the command line.
	      _v_._i_m_p_o_r_t will create the command string, then execute it.
	      This program converts an ASCII DLG file to  a  binary  DLG  file
	      with  attribute  codes  in the major minor fields, and creates a
	      _d_i_g___c_a_t_s file with the correct  code/label  correspondence.  The
	      program  _v_._a_._b_._d_l_g  must be run after this program to create the
	      GRASS vector files.
	      It is assumed that the DLG data file contains only  one  set  of
	      geographic  information;	ie.  areas, or lines, or points.  This
	      program WILL FAIL if mixed data is encountered.
	      Degenerate lines are accepted in this program as point data.


       DLG.att File format

	The DLG.att attribute file format is simple:


       field 1 - DLG [area|line|point] number
       field 2 - Label
