DESCRIPTION

30       v.convert converts GRASS 5.0/5.3/5.4 vectors into 5.7/6.x vectors.
31

NOTES

33       Vector  maps  from  5.0/5.3/5.4  and 5.7/6.x do not interfere. They are
34       stored in different directories, so you can use  the  same  names.  Old
35       vector maps can be listed with g.list oldvect.
36
37       If  you  need  to convert back from 5.7/6.x into the 5.0/5.3/5.4 vector
38       format, use v.out.ogr (to SHAPE format) and then v.in.shape in the  old
39       GRASS program.  Alternatively use "v.out.ascii -o" and v.in.ascii.
40
41       As this GRASS version uses SQL for attribute management, there are some
42       SQL restrictings concerning the file names.
43
44       Missing centroids can be added with v.category.
