Thanks for the vote of support Dylan. I recently looked at Grass's feature
list again. While it will work fine for basic mapping, it still has a long
way to go if you want to use it for business tools and geocoding. If anyone
does look in to Manifold www.manifold.net, do yourself a big favor and buy
the training videos from this guy, www.gisadvisor.com. It will get you up to
speed real quick and they are great to refer back to from time to time. I
still look back on certain lessons when I need to brush up on skills.
Manifold is a windows only application but very reasonably priced. It starts
at $245 and the whole package with everything they offer is only $625. It
will deal with any GIS file type out there, MapInfo, Shape Files, the works,
and it is a web based map server.
Thank You,
Brian Webster

A wise man (Brian Webster) once told me:
Grass is great but other tools will have less of a learning curve and get
you where you need to go faster.
After wasting some more time with Grass, PostGIS, and the like, I bought
Manifold and found that he was right. That said, this was more than two
years ago and PostGIS and supporting libraries/applications are no doubt
much farther along nowadays.

Have you checked out Grass, Charles?
