[comp.databases] GIS, Geographical Info. Sys.

Much thanks to all the comp.databases devotees for all of the responses 
to my request for info regarding the RIM data base. When I get a free 
moment I will post the results of the email responses.

Does anyone know whether there are any Geographical Information Systems
in the public domain (other than the ARMY CERL's GRASS GIS)?

Has anyone used GRASS as well as other GISs and done a comparison? If 
so please send me some email as to where I may find out more information
about the strengths and weaknesses of the different systems. Thanks
in advance.
