       _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 func-
       tional
       multipliers.
