1) GIS is not "like a spreadsheet." It's much, much more than that. GRASS was developed over ten years. 2) GRASS has been around for a very long time, long before there was a Linux. In the 80s and 90s when GRASS was developed, Unix boxes were very expensive hardware. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
