We use Grass4.1 ArcCAD and ArcView2 which accomplishes most of what we
need to do. However, I was originally informed by ESRI that ArcView
would be a good way to pull all these things together (vector and
raster). Unfortunately, it is pretty difficult to export a grass raster
image into arcview (basically you can't.) -- you have export the grass
raster file as an image file that is readible by ArcView and then
register it with your arcview data. --
If you do a lot of raster type analyses, then Grass is a fine way to go.
If you are looking to make pretty maps for reports, then you need
something different, such as ArcView 2.1

description, it seems like a viable option as a low-cost (approx $400
US per seat) GIS. I don't know a whole lot about it, though. Does
anyone have any feelings about this package, especially how its
capabilities compare to GRASS? Are they competitors or do they
complement each other?Thanks....
