DESCRIPTION

40       v.convert converts GRASS 5.0/5.3/5.4 vectors into 5.7/6.x vectors.
41

NOTES

43       Vector maps from 5.0/5.3/5.4 and 5.7/6.x do  not  interfere.  They  are
44       stored  in  different  directories,  so you can use the same names. Old
45       vector maps can be listed with g.list oldvect.
46
47       If you need to convert back from 5.7/6.x into  the  5.0/5.3/5.4  vector
48       format,  use v.out.ogr (to SHAPE format) and then v.in.shape in the old
49       GRASS program.  Alternatively use "v.out.ascii -o" and v.in.ascii.
50
51       As this GRASS version uses SQL for attribute management, there are some
52       SQL restrictings concerning the file names.
53
54       Missing centroids can be added with v.category.
