----------------------------Original message---------------------------- CARTO-SoC: I somehow missed reference to this list in earlier discussions of map resources on the net. The list is for sponsored by the British Society of Cartographers, and is largely taken up with questions of interest to desktop computer cartographers with a heavy emphasis on Macromedia Freehand (recent threads have included comparisons of Freehand vs Illustrator vs CorelDraw, and the limited ability of programs to draw dotted lines). As a cartographer working mainly in Freehand, I am finding it of great interest, and thought it might also be of interest to subscribers to this list. to subscribe to CARTO-SoC: send a message to: [log in to unmask] and in the BODY of the message type: subscribe carto-soc --------- FREEHAND-L: Also of great interest, although further removed from specifically cartographic circles, is the Freehand list, Freehand-L, maintained at the University of Alaska. Much technical and general discussion of interest to desktop mappers, and there appears to be a large contingent of cartographers subscribed.
