Hi There!!


Does anyone know where I can get information about Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) for the MAC or about Digitising and mapping packages?

I am interested in packages that produce HIGH QUALITY output and are able
to manipulate the sort of information that is inherent in map drawing.
For example the CAD packages often allow you to move a square or
rectangle around, add straight lines easily, etc., but maps rarely use many
straight lines and squares. Mapping packages really need to deal with
polygons and arcs rather than objects like circles.

Please let me know if you have heard anything at all relating to mapping
using a MAC II, or even any organisations that are using Macs for this
purpose that I might be able to contact for more information.

Thanks in advance,
