While I was in the NERDC at UF, I tried to identify mapping software and
collect functional copies. When I left UF, I sent a complete set of copies
with documentation to the library's digital imagery lady, Ruth, since my
main interest was in making it possible to overlay roads, political and
similar boundaries on satellite imagery.
Hope this helps.
