<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2>>Maybe QGIS could be made part of the <A href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo4W">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo4W</A><BR>>software distribution.

<DIV dir=ltr>yes, I agree; I already discussed the point with FrankW some times ago, and he knows my point of view. I agree, but at the moment I'm too engaged with single projects (first of all the WinGRASS project) to start to think on bigger ones. Then, another *issue* is that I'm new in *this world*, and I still need to learn a lot of things, about programming, GIS in general, software projects management, users requirements, and so on... I'm not (absolutely) at a *stage* in which I can tell to have a good panorama view of the whole situation, so my actual *policy* is: work on small parts (respecting SMART policy: Simple Measurable Achievable Relevant and Time phased), reach important targets for final users on windows, and follow *instructions* from the *high levels*: in that, for me, Paolo Cavallini + Tim Sutton and Markus Neteler, for QGIS and GRASS respectively, are the biggest references at the moment.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>>Just for the record here are the supported formats for the gdal and ogr win32 binaries</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>really impressive!!! It would be really good to adopt them at least for GRASS.... but I still have the problem that I need to build GDAL with GRASS support for QGIS... and build GRASS with the same GDAL used in QGIS, since winGRASS goes *straight* into QGIS!</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>BTW: thanks for your very useful informations.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Best regards,</DIV>
