[GRASSLIST:10158] Re: OGUG Presents GRASS and ARCGIS Thesis Comparison

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all.
Thanks a lot for this - very interesting. One statement from the thesis is not 
exact, however: Todd wrote that support and teaching is "virtually 
non-existing" for grass. In fact, several commercial firms (including 
ourselves) are offering just this.
Please check:

Again, many thanks - I hope somebody will eleborate further on this (eg 
comparing vector analyses, digitalization, etc.).
All the best.
