----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I am trying to find out what the current status is on software for computer(pc) based map catalogues. If anyone could offer any advice as to appropriate software and hardware(if more than a fast pentium with lots of memory and disk space is required) I would be grateful. Many thanks.
