Subject:      Vacancy--Professor of Geography

Following is the text of an advert we have placed for an opening for
Professor of Geography here at Portsmouth. Deadline is 19th February.

I should emphasise that the post is mainly research-oriented, and that
Head of Department is not *necessarily* part of the responsibilities.
The area of research is completely open, and therefore includes GIS,
Cartography, Remote Sensing and other areas of interest to GIS-L. The
personnel telephone number is included in the ad, but here is the
fax # (0705) 843122, or email to FRAMPTONJS@CSOVAX.PORTSMOUTH.AC.UK

Best of luck!

For information about GIS Plus (or TRANSCAD) contact:

Caliper Corporation
1172 Beacon Street
Newton, MA 02161
phone: (617) 527-4700
fax:   (617) 527-5113

As far as I know GIS Plus runs on PCs (80386 or 80486) with:
DOS 3.0 and above
640K of RAM
Mouse, VGA Display
running GIS Plus on a 386 requires a math co-processor

Hope that helps

Maybe.  There *was* a furry creature wandering through the eternal snows
of Amherst, New York, a few nights ago.  I was up about 2 AM one night and
looked out, and I saw it crouching under my bird feeder.  Admittedly, it
was kind of small, and might have been a rabbit, but I couldn't be absolutely
sure, so it was definitely a UFO (Unidentified Furry Object).  Or, since
SDTS became a FIPS, I guess we should call them UFEs (Unidentified F. 
Entities).

I saved part of it...

 Basically it uses the aml [format <args>] command to pad with spaces.

This was from melton@zen.wes.army.mil
-------------------------------------------------------

Try this:
----- cut here -----
&args .tmp$var tmp$cnt

/*  PAD.AML

/*  Description: This AML will accept a string, .tmp$var, and
/*               pad it with blanks until it is of length

&if [null %.tmp$var%] &then &goto usage
&if [null %tmp$cnt%] &then &goto usage

&s .tmp$str := [value %.tmp$var%]

&s tmp$reps := %tmp$cnt% - [length %.tmp$str%]

&do tmp$I = 1 &to %tmp$reps% &by 1
  &s .tmp$str := [format ' %1%' %.tmp$str%]
&end

&s %.tmp$var% := %.tmp$str%

&dv tmp$I
&dv tmp$cnt
&dv tmp$reps
&dv .tmp$var
&dv .tmp$str

&return
&end

/*
/* Display usage
/*
&label usage
  &type Usage: PAD <variable name> <desired length>
  &return
----- cut here -----

Call this from the command line or an aml with:

  &run pad <variable name> <desired length>

do not use the %s with the variable name.

Subject:      Wanted: Information on (geographic) analysis tasks using GIS

Efficient use of GIS softwares requires skills and experiences. This is
particularly true when (geographic) models have to be used, and/or (spatial)
statistics is used, and sensible graphics have to be desingned in order to
achieve a task (goal). We are doing research on building some intelligence
in GIS to smooth the process of geographic analysis using GIS by incooperating
possible expert knowledge of geographic modeling, using a GIS software, and
graphics design. Image a GIS which is capable of acomplishing a analysis task
automatically or semiautomatically when the initial conditions and final goals
of a task are specified by a user.

Among other issues, we are compiling a list of tasks at present. And thus we
are particularly intereted in obtaining information on the tasks acomplished
and/or under consideration by GIS users in the large in the following areas:

1).     environmental/geographical modeling
2).     spatial statistics
3).     graphics design

I am asking your help in giving the information you might have, and greatly
appreciate your support. Information for each task on the following aspects,
but not limited to, are especially desirable:

1).     brief discription of the task
2).     the data used, and possibly the contents of the data
3).     the known conditions and the goal of the task
4).     GIS software used
5).     the (geographical/environmetal/statistical) models used
6).     the procedure used to acomplish the task
7).     the difficulties encounted to acomplish the task
8).     graphics needed in representing the results

Information can be sent to me via email, or regular mail. I have
provided my address below. Thanks in advance.

              25 Jan 1993 14:20:35 GMT from <lynn@HSSC.SCAROLINA.EDU>

Hi, if u are trying to load an Avhrr image into arc-info ver 6.1, then the best
method is to import the raw Avhrr image into Erdas software, and then process t
the image.. This processed image is easily imported into Arc-Info. I have just
completed loading an Avhrr(band 2)image into arc-info, and i had to undergo
a lot of conversions. The following steps can be taken-

1. Import the image into Erdas by the "LDDATA" UTILITY.          If u have the
data on a floppy , select the load data from file command. choose the BIL forma
and load the image as a 16 bit file with no headers.But u must know the correct
number of rows and columns beforehand. Convert the loaded data into an Erdas
LAN file.
2. After u have the LAN file, run BSTATS command in ERdas to cal the stats .
3. This image is easily imported into The IMAGE INTEGRATOR module in ARC_info
4. use arcplot module to start the session in A-info. select display 9999, if u
are running on a workstation.
5. Select the imageview <filename> command.
6. The image is displayed in a window.


7. The image can be converted into a grid if desired,by the commands
ERDASGRID or IMAGEGRID , in arc .
   This procedure, i think will work.
let me know if u have any problems.

Forwarding this request for Les Marcus:

Does anyone know how to go from USGS CDW Roms to files compatible with
ATLAS, MAPINFO, and SAS for maps of South America and Africa.  Also
simple ASCII coordinate files of line segments for area outlines
possible?  Les

  Hello
  Could someone help me?
  I am working on the application of artificial intelligence techniques
  in Geographic Information System
  (problem solving, reasoning, spatial decision support system,
  knowledge-based techniques, ...)
  I am looking for any information or references about it (books, papers,
  proceedings, journals, ...)

  Thanks in advance

  Denis
