Packaging GRASS

[George Chou]

I totally agree with you on the point you made.   Dr. Bob Lozar at CERL
also indicated that a simplified package could be more attractive to casual
users.  As far as packaging GRASS is concerned, GPZ Technology is
interested in working with yours and/or other organizations to identify
such packages and customize GRASS-XMI ( http://www.gpz.com/grassxmi.htm )
to work with these packages.

What we really need to know are two lists for your industry and typical
applications:
	list 1: programs that are most frequently used 
	list 2: programs that are occasionally used

The next question is how to group programs within a package.  Any
suggestions?
