Thanks for the tip Hamish. I'm particularly looking for an environment for non-GIS experts and was attracted to the model builder type approach.
I will also have a look at your suggested environment.

GRASS 6.4 favours Unix shell scripts, GRASS 7.svn favours Python. (But any scripting language you like would work as long as it can make system() calls.) fwiw, both are fine tools, it's just a matter of using the right tool for the job in any given situation. regards, Hamish _______________________________________________ UbuntuGIS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki
