Hi,<br>for lecturing on grass, the audience might have a mix of<br>Those who want to shift (if not partially) from commercial GIS like<br> ARC-INFO etc, and those who want elegant hardcopy outputs.<br><br> So keep in mind some ready comparison, a thesis is available<br> from Ottawa GUG, and was in this list too.<br>The CYGWIN Grass will be a nice initiation for them as they dont<br>have to leap the mental barrier of shifting to GNU-Linux.<br><br>Here even a mention of Qgis will be worthwhile. <br><br>Map composition from a GIS database, is a sensitive point, and <br>GRASS is still developing in this aspect. <br>May be a mention of GMT, for Map composition may be worthwhile.<br>Best of luck<br>Ravi Kumar<br><br><b><i>pmarc <paulomarcondes@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> I think that this has
