I am a GIS teaching Assistant during the Fall and Spring semesters at Old Dominion University here in Norfolk, VA and I keep a current copy of this software on my laptop so that the students using the GIS lab can have more access to GIS data than with ArcGIS alone. -Or- Avenza's Mapublisher http://www.avenza.com/mapublisher Dr. Chapman (also at ODU) teaches his Cartography class using Mapublisher and Adobe Illustrator. It appears that government agencies that do not need all the bells and whistles of ArcGIS are switching to this software combination because, in the long run, it is cheaper. The mapping division of the CIA is one group that uses this software. Take Care, Paul B.

A Google search was unhelpful. Thank you for any insights you can provide. John John M.
