I am interested in obtaining software to generate
geographic maps on Sun workstations and other micros
of various word sizes. I expect this will involve
a map database and software to access it. The preferred
features are to accept a map center and radius (or
latitude-longitude boundaries) and generate a display
with shore outlines or filled landforms with a lat-lon grid.
If the software used high level generic graphics calls for
lines and polygons it could help for portability.
A while ago I checked into getting a database called
World Databank II, however I was told it took 9 reel-to-reel
tapes to hold it. I am interested in something with
perhaps less resolution but that would fit on micros
with limited storage.
I plan to post a summary of responses I receive by mail.
Thank you.
