Do you know why i cannot use the r.li suite neither non vista or xp?
Is there a way i can use it from a windows OS?

Thanks

Dimitris,

Because the r.li suite is not compiled in the native MS-Windows version of
GRASS; and this is because MS-Windows doesn't support monitors.

Yes, using the cygwin version of GRASS:

Thanks for the advice once more, but i am having problems with cygwin also.
I have progressed with the installation till

''To start GRASS, double-click on the Cygwin icon and run "startx" at the command prompt. This will start X-Windows and open a new xterm window. At the xterm prompt type "grass63".''

I type startx press enter and all i get is
''bash: startx: command not found''

I have also tried it from the run process in windows as the cygwin website guide says, but it doesnt work either.

I am complete novice in these matters so bear with me
Thanks
