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.
