Hello agian,
	I have discovered that the graphics part of the package that I whant to use is a PC based thing called QUICKMAP, apparently used in a number of PC packages.  So the question I am really asking is; Does/has anybody use QUICKMAP and/or exported files from GRASS to QUICKMAP. The file extension it uses is .PGN.

Thanks for any help

Joe
