Some friends are in the process of developing a geographic information
system and wish to liberate it from the university mainframe machine
(and the non-standard graphics system) which they are currently using.
Their initial interest is mainly in IBM PC graphics software and hardware
with an eye to upward compatibility (including other manufacturers).
If anyone has information about or experience with:
i) PC Graphics Software (particularly standards, ie. GKS, CORE etc.)
including interactive (ie. mouse or pointing device) support
ii) PC supported Graphics Hardware (related or unrelated to software)
Any response will be appreciated including pointers to literature, reviews,
articles and personal experience/recommendations.
Rather than clogging up this newsgroup with responses please mail items to me
directly and I'll summarize/moderate what I get and post the results.
