<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<em>v.convert.all</em> converts all GRASS 5.0/5.3/5.4 vectors in the current
mapset into GRASS 6.0 vectors.

<h2>NOTES</h2>

Vector maps from 5.0/5.3/5.4 and 6.0 do not interfere. They are stored in different 
directories, so you can use the same names. Old vector maps can be listed with
<em>g.list oldvect</em>.

<P>
If you need to convert back from 6.0 into the 5.0/5.3/5.4 vector format,
use <em>v.out.ogr</em> (to SHAPE format) and then <em>v.in.shape</em>
in the old GRASS program.
Alternatively use "<em>v.out.ascii -o</em>" and <em>v.in.ascii</em>.
<P>
As this GRASS version uses SQL for attribute management, there are
some <a href=sql.html>SQL restrictings concerning the file names</a>.
This script changes dots (e.g. "foo.bar") in old vector map names into
underline(s) (e.g. "foo_bar").

<h2>EXAMPLE</h2>

To convert all old vector maps in the current mapset to the new vector format:
<br>
<tt>
v.convert.all -r
</tt>
