Is there a usergroup dedicated to Intergraph hardware and software.
Alternatively is there an FTP site for information, files, etc related
to Intergraph products such as MicroStation, ModelView, Project Architect,
etc...

Well, there are two 'usergroups' for Intergraph users. The first is non-computer related. ie in 'real life'TM. You should contact your local Intergraph office if you are not already involved in it. Their IGUG (Intergraph Graphics Users Group) is a well structured organisation that mirrors Intergraph's internal organisation. eg. there is a head of the Archictectural Proctucts both on staff and in the IGUG. This allows good interaction between users and the company. The second 'usergroup' is the IBBS (Intergraph Bulletin Board System), which is a private bulletin board for all Intergraph users (who pay maintenance). You have to register to log in, and it is located in the States (so you naturally keep access time to a minimum). The Australian Intergraph company has been setting up a bulletin board which mirrors the one in the States, so that may be a cheaper option for you. Contact the Sydney office if you want more info. As far as Internet news groups are concerned, in the manual on the IBBS, Intergraph suggest you look at comp.sys.misc. Unfortunately not many people post here (in relation to Intergraph products), but we could always try to increase the traffic if you want. I think the problem is that not many Intergraph users have access to the network. Intergraph themselves are on the net, and you can send messages to their staff quite happily (in the States and Australia) if you have an address for that staff member. Obviously I am on the net and would be more than happy to chat about Intergraph issues (especially as they relate to architecture since I am chairman of the AEC Special Interest Group in Australia). > Alternatively is there an FTP site for information, files, etc related > to Intergraph products such as MicroStation, ModelView, Project Architect, > etc... Not sure about this one... > ==================================================================== > From: pdbourke@ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz > AppleLink: NZ0028 > Postage: P.D.Bourke > Architecture School, Auckland University > Private Bag > Auckland > New Zealand > PH: NZ (09) 737 999 x7367 > Fax: NZ (09) 366 4665 > ==================================================================== Fill me in on what products/systems you have in the School (or are you just looking at this stage, in which case tell me what you are looking at).

Not to the best of my knowledge. There are some Intergraph users on the net, but for some reason (despite encouragement at IGUG conferences in Huntsville) sites seem reluctant to connect. At Huntsville we were told to meet in comp.misc, at least until such time that the traffic warranted a dedicated newsgroup. The services you seek would be invaluable. Let's hope we reach critical mass soon. -- Terry Ingoldsby ingoldsb%ctycal@cpsc.ucalgary.ca Land Information Services or The City of Calgary ...{alberta,ubc-cs,utai}!calgary!ctycal!ingoldsb
