Hi all.

Recently, I posted a question regarding the automatic vectorising of
features from a raster image.  The response was quite impressive, suggesting
that many people have looked to solve the same problem in the past.

Three main suggestions were provided - 

MapScan (http://www.undp.org/popin/softproj/software/mapscan.htm)
R2V (www.ablesw.com/r2v)
Corel OCR-Trace

A colleague of mine has investigated these options and found the R2V
software to be very good indeed.  It costs 1500 USD.  MapScan was free but
he thought it was rather "lightweight".

Hope this helps others.  My thanks once again to all those who helped me.

Cheers,

Graham
