It seems like anything that runs on an RS/6000 should run on a Next,
provided that the vendor/originator/whoever will provide source.  As
a suggestion along that line, I'd suggest that you take a look at
GRASS from the CERL at UIUC.

hi sholom,

i think you are in trouble, as there is to my awareness no gis available under
NeXTSTEP. i know of somebody having compiled GRASS under MouseX or something
like that, but do not have his address with me. i personally am very interested
in that topic and would particularly like GRASS to be ported to NeXTSTEP, but
i can hardly do that ... any ideas?

This is my first interaction with the internet, and I didn't think I would

I see that the question is being asked "Why isn't USGS elevation data available

somewhere on the net?".



The Taxpayer Assets Project directed by James Love has been pushing a proposal

that would open up the huge volumes of government data that has been collected

and cataloged with tax money to on-line access to the general public.



Historicaly, this information has been available only thru private vendors at

inflated prices.  The Information Dissemination Equity Act (IDEA) would

establish an online "Window"  to government information thru the Government

Printing Office.  This proposal has gained a number of supporters in congress

and may become reality.

Subject:      RE: Graphical library/toolkit for map display

IF one is wishing to find a graphics toolkit that provides a moderately high
level programming interface - and which permits the programmer to maintain
true 'scale', then (regrefully) I must advise AGAINST GKS and PHIGS.  Read
the standards and you will see why.

For the purposes described by Jon Marthins, probably UNIRAS (available from
UNIRAS, Copenhagen) is one of the most appropriate toolkits.  Others include
GINO (from Bradley Associates, Bracknell, UK), Precision Visuals and the
Culham Laboratory's GHOST (which still seems to be going strong).

Open GL is pretty complex stuff.  Forget toolkits at the X Library level -
life is far too short!

I will talk to Evan (I worked on the original version of Geo_eas and now Evan) 
and see about the possibility of making the source code available via ftp.
 
	Also, FYI a version of Geo-Eas does exist that runs on Sun's running X 
(Openwindows). This gets rid of some of the problems with the MeSs-DOS version 
(ie - limited number of points, etc).  I am currently running it to test it 
for bugs but was informed that it is or will be available for Sun Sparc 
systems (it will come with source code that the user then compiles on his/her 
system - requires a Fortran compiler and Xlib but I am sure that a binary can 
be had also. I am also thinking of porting the code to C in the near future
and will make that available when and if I get it out.

It's called GSMAP, Rob, and you can get a copy via ftp to csn.org in the

at 128.138.213.21. 

The documentation is only available in printed form, and if you are
associated with a university (even if it is not an American one), you can
write to the author at the USGS and if he has any more copies left, he'll
send you one, free.  You need to use University stationary for this.
Details are explained in the README file with GSMAP at csn.org

Subject:      Re: IDRISI's Tosca digitizer.... HELP!!!

I don't know if you've already solved your problem (the summasketch), but I was
having exactly the same problem (although with a SUmmasketch II).  It didn't
help at all when I swapped ports, etc., and the .DIG file was set to the
proper port.  The way I finally managed to get the thing running was this:
-I changed the reset string in the .DIG file to 000
-I had to SEND (with the SUMMA utility) /Czazr (set to ascii/ignore resets)

This threw me for awhile, because if you look at the output in KERMIT, its
ASCII, but it doesn't look like anything but garbage (although I was able to
fine the button numbers in the mess).  You should have output in KERMIT
_only_ when you press a cursor button.

I was also having a problem getting an old SUMMASKETCH Professional (no manual,
and from a swap meet...and ther's not even a power indicator!).  This pad
seems to work in TOSCA if you:
-install the summa Tablet driver
-SEND /M/O/Cza
-unistall the tablet driver

DON'T ask me me why it works, both these solutions were basically the product
 ofbanging my head on various blunt objects nearby, but I can get both these
 pads to work consistantly on out machines (286/386) without any major problems.

Also, in case anyone missed it:
-You can Email Idrisi at IDRISI@clarku.edu
-I guess there's a Mail list at MAILSERV@towsonvx.bitnet?

good luck (if you still need it..)

one of you might send me that information.

Also, I would like some feedback from users who have tried both these

have 386s with a base memory of 640 Kb but, we hope to get 486s with 4 Mb
RAM soon.  What about the monitor ?  We have VGAs and a couple of them
with the 8514 cards.  Will this be sufficient ?  We are most interested in
knowing the costs of the ver 4 package, as well as any other additionals.
Answers to these and any other advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Subject:      Is the term COVERAGE universal?

What is the accepted term for those GIS files that contain both
spatial and attribute components?  Those of us who use Arc/Info
call them coverages, but is this term acceptable for GIS files
produced from other software?  The term data layer or
data theme doesn't work, since a layer may be composed of many
files, each corresponding to a tile.  And a tile is merely
a spatial sub-set of a region.  All this may sound trivial (like the
geographic/geographical debate), but I don't want to
corrupt concepts or terms in our discipline with software
specific terms or commands (someone who's been around longer
than I can elighten me as to whether we have always built (from BUILD)
topology, or if we merely created topology in the days before
Arc/Info became popular).

There is not a lot of potential for success.  Our drawing board II causes
mapinfo to lock the system.  Don't look to the mapinfo people for much
help either.  They did not know that our calcomp 1026m plotter would produce
size E output from their software!

Subject:      Arc/Info Clean

Dear Netters,

Has anyone run into a problem of too many arcs
per polygon when doing a clean in PC Arc/Info 3.4d+?

I have a 6meg dxf that I convert one layer over to arc
with dxfarc.  This layer only has lot lines (which also
make up the right of way for the streets).  Is there
a setting that can be changed, either the fuzzy tolerance
or the dangle length that would overcome 5000 arc
limit while CLEANing?

Thanks for any help.

Eric-
