It’s either perseverance or it’s a cumpulsive disorder of some type! This whole
tale began last February when I realized a GIS would be perfect for displaying
meteorological data. Software for numerical weather forecasting is rich in
results but thin in display of topographic information. Reading through GRASS
capabilities I realized it offered not just display but also analytical
capacity. That was the inducement for continuing to find a solution for me.
On the other hand, Markus’ willingness to smooth out the bumps, to pursue the
complex interactions between libraries, and to volunteer so much time to
someone like me is awe-inspiring. Linux is a very difficult platform due to its
non-standard repos. Every one of Linux’s flavors is different. Add that to the
welter of poorly-maintained libraries and very small but essential bits of code
requires patience. He makes GRASS-GIS a workable solution. This users’ group is
the key resource to making GRASS a very useful tool.
My admiration and deep thanks.
