Description: "The MOSS User's Manual has been designed as a reference document for trained users of the Map Overlay and Statistical System (MOSS) interactive graphics software. MOSS is the data analysis component of a Geographic Information System (GIS) originally developed by the Western Energy and Land Use Team (WELUT). Currently, MOSS is being developed under the direction of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management with cooperation from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Forest Service, the Soil Conservation Service, the Minerals Management Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This document contains information necessary for a user to access and use the MOSS software. MOSS can address digital map data in two formats, vector and raster, or cell. For convenience, raster processing capabilities are specifically called MAPS (Map Analysis and Processing System), due to differences in the software. It is assumed that the reader of this document is familiar with the GIS and its applications"--leaf iii.
