This page describes the current status of winGRASS development. Precompiled native winGRASS packages are available here.

Have to add c:\mingw\bin to PATH on some systems.
- Shouldn't the MinGW installer add c:\mingw\bin to PATH?
Cannot display a thematic layer.
- can't read "_data(.gronsole.gronsole,4,donecmd)": no such element in array error
- Aqua TclTk solution: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=5096&display=History
Need a decent prompt.

file command returns bad code (catch is needed): http://sources.redhat.com/ml/insight/2003-q1/msg00079.html
- catch{file copy}
- catch{file delete}
- catch{file rename -force} does not work. Delete old file first: catch{file delete}; catch{file rename}
file redirection (>@stdout, 2>@stderr) does not work: http://wiki.tcl.tk/672
- exec a batch file doing redirection (>&2, 2>&1)
no -permissions file attributes
- catch {file attributes -permissions}

Display drivers: socket
- Use gis.m instead of monitors.
- Make gis.m Output window more like xterm. No need to hit Run.
- Is there any way that the Map Display in gis.m can interact with console commands? IPC? File Alteration Monitor?
