1. What are the main differences between GRASS4.1 and GRASSLAND 1.0 ?
GRASSLAND 1.0 is an implementation of GRASS4.1 inside an easy to use Graphi
cal
User Interface. It runs under Microsoft Windows/95 and Windows/NT and will
very soon run a few flavor of UNIX. Beside the basic GRASS4.1 spatial analy
sis
functions, GRASSLAND 1.0 is equipped with some new and very useful features

5. Can I include my own GRASS functions into GRASSLAND 1.0 ?
The openess of GRASS4.1 is certainly one of its most important feature.
LAS' development team has worked very hard to keep all GRASS libraries iden
tical
to the orginal UNIX version. We have created a series of .DLL libraries tha
t
mimic all aspect of the most important GRASS4.1 libraries: libgis.a, libvec
t.a and
libdig.a. Other libraries have been implemented as statically link librarie
s except
libvask.a which we couldn't port at all. We also made a GISGEN and a GMAKE4
.1 script
to facilitate compilation.
This development environment has allowed us to port without difficulty all
functions
described above. Therefore, it should be suitable for any other functions.
It is also possible to easily create a GUI clip for each function and to in
tegrate
the result into GRASSLAND 1.0.
LAS is currently putting together a development package ( with documentatio
n ) with all
these tools included. This package will be made available at no cost for de
velopers
willing to contribute back their work to the users community. The developm
ent package
will run on top of Microsoft Visual C++ and will ( unless someone supplies
a good
replacement) also require the MKS toolkit for NT/95.
OK , I had the answer, in this preceeding Mail ...
So, what about this development package ?
Is it already available?
Merci à nouveau et a bientot
