Hi,

so I see that Kosmo takes a lot of space (600+MB).
Wonder why - if the core of Kosmo was actually taken from JUMP GIS 
(12MB) (look at the size of OpenJUMP: < 100MB). So maybe they use lots 
of libraries for being able to read certain file types (gdal? 
mrsid/ecw-raster drivers? ), and each different per OS (win vs Linux vs 
MacOsx).
Or do they have included lots of data.

So, it is somehow surprising when seeing disk space use if Komso in 
comparison to gvSIG and OpenJUMP.

cheers,
stefan
