Welcome to the GIS Files

Robert and Rich's postings reminded me.  A while back Robert presented
to the Wed Tech group on the open source GIS system GRASS
   http://grass.baylor.edu/
.. and mentioned that a really good overview/tutorial of GIS was
available here:
   http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/gisfiles/

Well, yesterday after billions of frustrations trying to get some Java
gis systems to work, I decided to read the tutorial.  Its great!  I
suggest downloading the .pdf file, and using both the web version for
its movies etc and the pdf for greater readability.

Frank: I finally got ArcExplorer to sorta work, at least for shape
files .. not DEMs yet; hopefully today.  Not a bad viewer.
