Hi. I'm looking for an Apollo-based graphics application (commercial product or public domain) that allows a user to interactively create maps. A simple MacDraw-type program might do, but I'd prefer something geared toward working with lat-long data. Bitpad support for tracing hardcopy maps would be nice. It should also be able to dump data in some reasonably parseable ASCII format. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, as would info on map databases available via anonymous ftp. thanx. ======================================= <0> chris ross watcher@athena.mit.edu

I believe they are listed in the 3rd-party Applications Catalog, which is available from your nearest Apollo sales office. -- Carl Davidson "Real life is too important to be taken seriously" Apollo Computer Inc.
