If responses from this list are small - or non-existent/negative -
you/patron might try a specialist globe and scientific instrument
history society (also, of necessity, 'au fait' with digital
technologies):-

International Coronelli Society for the Study of Globes (based in
Vienna, Austria)

www.coronelli.org

And/or the ICA specialist Commission on Digital Technologies in
Cartographic Heritage (based in Thessaloniki, Greece; its 7th Workshop
will be in Barcelona, 19-20 April):-

Hi All,

A patron is looking for software that would create interrupted
sinusoidal gores from a flat piece of art work (not necessarily a map)
that can be attached to a large sphere. Does anybody know of such a
thing in the public domain?

Wednesday is too early in the week for an off the wall request.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

John
