SpatialNews Press Release
SierraMaps.com (TM) releases GRASS 5.0 beta 11 GIS for Mac OS X CD.Jump to Website Here5/14/01 (Mammoth Lakes, California) -- By simply double-clicking on the package, the state-of-the-art, open-source GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System), a complete GIS (geographic information system) will be installed in minutes. The CD installs and configures GRASS GIS with all of the programs and libraries required to run the graphical-user-interface within Mac OS X's Aqua interface (XFree86 4.0.3, XAqua 0.5, Tcl/Tk libraries and applications, wish 8.0 and GRASS 5.0 beta 11), optionally GRASS GIS with a command-line interface. The installation program also installs complete documentation (in both PDF and HTML formats), tutorials with sample data, and a mirror of the official GRASS web site. The only other complete competing GIS on the market fully-configured can cost more than US$20,000 and does not run on Macintoshes. The CD comes with limited-technical support to help get a system up and running should the user experience any difficulty installing GRASS GIS. SierraMaps will no longer offer free tech support for installation of GRASS 5.0 for Mac OS X that we ported, because this CD prevents those questions. The CD costs US$25.00, and you will receive $10 off of our next (final-release) GRASS 5.0 CD. To learn more about the CD and to purchase, please point your favorite web browser to: http://SierraMaps.com/grass To find out more about GRASS's capabilities, please go to: http://www.Baylor.edu/grass
