GMT vs. MAPGEN w/ GRASS

[Steve Dzurenko]

Hello,

Is anyone doing cartographic output from GRASS using GMT?

I have been told that GMT is easier to use than Mapgen and
produces equally high-quality output.  

Why the GRASS connection to Mapgen?  I have not had any luck
compiling the GRASS Mapgen distribution on my SGI Indigo2.
GMT compiles and runs fine, so I was going to invest my 
cartographic output effort in GMT.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom regarding this?

Thanks, 
-Steve
