INTERGRAPH ANNOUNCES A PC-GIS SET OF PRODUCTS FOR UNITED 
    STATES EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AT A REDUCED COST 
                    ($995/SEAT)

I thought this information might be useful.  If you would 
like more information,call Intergraph directly at

**************************************************************

Dear Professor, 

As  I  am sure you are well aware, the use of GIS technology
is increasing at a rapid rate as more and more people from a
wide  range of disciplines discover the advantages to making
their  activities "geographically enabled".   The  need  for
education  programs to assist such ones, and  to  train  the
next  generation of scientists and engineers  is  acute  and
occurring at a time when university budgets are under severe
pressure.

To  respond  to  the technical needs of users worldwide,  we
have  been  actively developing the Modular GIS  Environment
(MGE)  as  a broad suite of advanced, integrated application
modules.  MGE  integrates modules including traditional  GIS
and  mapping functions, spatial data management,  and  image
processing,  through to special application  specific  tools
such   as   subsurface   modeling  for  environmental   site
remediation.

Because  of the additional economic needs of our  users,  we
have  made MGE an open system.  MGE supports a wide  variety
of  relational  databases, a heterogeneous  and  distributed
file  server  environment,  and we  have  made  our  popular
MicroStation  geometry and graphics storage  formats  public
domain, increasing data safety and improving access options.
In  addition,  I  am  pleased to advise  you  that  MGE  now
encompasses a variety of PC software products.   In  keeping
with  our  open network approach, MGE PC products are  fully
file   and  database  compatible  within  the  MGE   family,
therefore  also  allowing  PC's  to  be  configured  into  a
consistent shared environment that can include InterPro Unix
workstations,  and  Unix file servers  from  Intergraph  and
other hardware vendors.

With  the  support  of our PC development partners,  Bentley
MicroSystems,  Oracle Corporation, MapInfo Corporation,  and
Decision  Images,  we  are making an  aggressive  effort  to
assist you with your technical challenges and recognize your
economic  constraints.  For a limited time, until April  30,
1993, I would like to encourage you to take advantage of our
offer  to  provide  accredited  educational  institutions  a
complete  GIS  and desktop mapping bundle   Details  on  the
software  packages themselves and ordering instructions  are
included with this letter.

We  appreciate your efforts to develop the technology  and
spread it's application through education and trust that you
will  be  able  to make maximum advantage of our  offer  and
order multiple copies while this offer remains available.

Yours sincerely,


Douglas B. Gerull
Executive Vice President
Mapping Sciences Division
