I have been looking all over for ways to open this thing, and I can't seem to find one that works. Some sites say to open it directly, but when I try this I am told it is an unrecognized format and am asked to select a program with which to open it. Any suggestions would be great!

Any ideas. Also to cut part feom the dem map. Thanks for all replies.

Essentially you need the OGDI driver: http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_ogdi.html This package should contain everything to open the VMAP0/VMAP1 files: http://fwtools.maptools.org/ Markus -- Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org/ http://www.grassbook.org/ From john at johnmcalpine.com Tue Jan 13 20:56:47 2009 From: john at johnmcalpine.com (John McAlpine) Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2009 05:56:47 +1000 Subject: [Freegis-list] please unsubscribe me Thank you Message-ID: <097E56F3-8105-4B57-A249-EB821292D750@johnmcalpine.com> From hitchcock at 52north.org Wed Jan 21 09:11:48 2009 From: hitchcock at 52north.org (Ann Hitchcock (52north)) Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 09:11:48 +0100 Subject: [Freegis-list] 52North announces new WPS release Message-ID: Dear freegis list, The 52?North Geoprocessing Community is proud to announce the release of the Web Processing Service Version 2.0! This new release contains the following changes and extensions: * Sextante (http://www.sextantegis.com/en/index.htm) processes integration: the current 52N WPS now provides more than 220 Sextante geoalgorithms (http://forge.osor.eu/plugins/wiki/index.php?id=13&type=g) as real WPS processes. Sextante support can easily be enabled/disabled and does not hinder custom developments of individual processes. * GRID support: any existing process or algorithm can be reused and distributed in the grid for parallel execution. This release enables the user to easily outsource geoprocessing tasks to an external data processing center. It fully supports the widely adopted UNICORE 6 grid middleware. In addition, it is possible to support other grid middlewares (e.g. Globus Tookit 4). No administrative access to the grid infrastrucutre is necessary, only a valid certificate for accessing the target system is required. * internal architecture redesign with new flexible bindings of different internal datastructures (e.g. Geotools Datamodel) * support for (very large) rasters * new Geotiff parser and generator * improved asychronous datahandling + download of stored files * several bugfixes * extended Tutorial: it guides the user through the process of setting up the 52N WPS, creating a new process, as well as executing and exporting the process. The 52N Web Processing Service enables the deployment of geo-processes on the web. It features a pluggable architecture for processes and data encodings. The implementation is based on the current OpenGIS specification: 05-007r7. download tutorial here: http://52north.org/twiki/bin/viewfile/Processing/52nWebProcessingService?rev=1;filename=WPS_Tutorial.pdf download binary distribution here: http://52north.org/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=73&task=viewcategory&catid=22 browse the sources in our svn repository here: http://52north.org/svn/geoprocessing/main/WPS/trunk/WPS/ test instances can be invoked here: http://52north.org:8080/wps/WebProcessingService http://geoserver.itc.nl:8080/wps/WebProcessingService more information can be found here: http://52north.org/maven/project-sites/wps/52n-wps-webapp/ best regards, Ann Hitchcock ----- Dipl.-Geogr.

We have also revamped our web site at http://qgis.org. See the note below from our project chair: ----------------- This release is the culmination of literally hundreds of hours of work by a team of developers, translators, documentation writers, and graphics designers. QGIS began life in February of 2002, with the first release in June of the same year. The initial goal was to create a viewer for PostGIS data that ran on Linux. From those humble beginnings, QGIS has become a true cross-platform application that runs on all major versions of unix, Linux, as well as Mac and Windows. It supports editing and map composition as well as integration with GRASS to provide powerful GIS capability. QGIS has been translated into many languages by a dedicated internationalization team. At 1.0 we provide a stable API from which you can develop custom solutions in Python or C++. Even though 1.0 is fresh, there are a number of exciting developments underway in both the core application and plugins. Although it took nearly 7 years to get to version 1.0, I think you'll find that this version is the best yet. Thanks for using QGIS---you, the users, have played a large part in its success. -- Gary Sherman, Chair, QGIS Project Steering Committee ----------------- For more detailed release information, visit: http://blog.qgis.org/node/123 For Gnu/Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows downloads, visit: http://download.qgis.org * * Source code and User's Guide are also available from this site.
