Tao,
Is there anybody out in the world is working or will work on a PC-based GRASS
version? If we do have the PC version, what is the requirement of the CPU, disk
space, memory, video card, etc?
One option I hope to pursue in the near future is to compile GRASS for
the free Linux operating system. Linux is a completely freeware UNIX
for Intel PCs. To run GRASS, you would need a minimum of 200Mb disk,
plus space for data, 8Mb memory or more I suspect. Pretty much any
Super VGA card. Linux will run on a 386, but you would certainly want
a math coprocessor, for GRASS, though it isn't essential.
The real stickler is to get GRASS to compile on Linux. I have heard
of one person succeeding, more or less. And of course Linux is not
DOS, but UNIX.
