just fyi, Epi Info, http://www.cdc.gov/epiinfo/  has a mapping component,
and the package is free. Although I haven't used it so I don't know much
about it.

Our Library's Development Director asked me if I could plot maps of
Missouri and the U.S. showing where alumni are located by plugging in
their zip codes and generating a map.  I do not have a mapping program
that can do this. Apparently Microsoft's Map Point can perform this
task, and I imagine there's an ESRI product that could do it as well.

Do any of you use Map Point?  Would you recommend it for this kind of
plotting or is there another program that does it better?

Thanks,
