<H5>SpatialNews Press Release</H5><P>
<H4>SierraMaps.com (TM) releases GRASS 5.0 beta 11 GIS for Mac OS X CD.</h4>
<A href="javascript:OpenWin('http://SierraMaps.com/grass');">
Jump to Website Here</a>
<hr>
5/14/01 (Mammoth Lakes, California) -- By simply double-clicking on the package, the state-of-the-art,
open-source GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System), a
complete GIS (geographic information system) will be installed in
minutes. The CD installs and configures GRASS GIS with all of the
programs and libraries required to run the graphical-user-interface
within Mac OS X's Aqua interface (XFree86 4.0.3, XAqua 0.5, Tcl/Tk
libraries and applications, wish 8.0 and GRASS 5.0 beta 11), optionally
GRASS GIS with a command-line interface.<br><BR>
The installation program also installs complete documentation (in both
PDF and HTML formats), tutorials with sample data, and a mirror of the
official GRASS web site. The only other complete competing GIS on the
market fully-configured can cost more than US$20,000 and does not run on
Macintoshes.<br><BR>
The CD comes with limited-technical support to help get a system up and
running should the user experience any difficulty installing GRASS GIS.
SierraMaps will no longer offer free tech support for installation of
GRASS 5.0 for Mac OS X that we ported, because this CD prevents those
questions.<br><BR>
The CD costs US$25.00, and you will receive $10 off of our next
(final-release) GRASS 5.0 CD.<br><BR>
To learn more about the CD and to purchase, please point your favorite
web browser to: http://SierraMaps.com/grass<br><BR>
To find out more about GRASS's capabilities, please go to:
http://www.Baylor.edu/grass
