Re: Software

Hi Richard, I've used MapInfo before, and it will probably do the job for you. You can easily unload data from Informix tables and load them into MapInfo tables. It has a relational engine, so you can construct SQL queries against the data, and use this data for geocoding, shading by values, etc. Check out one of the following: http://web1.digital.net/~mapinfo/ http://www.gisnet.com/gis/mapinfo/ftpsite.html I'm afraid I can't help you out much with GUI front-ends. I'm sure that Gupta, PB, Uniface, could do it (maybe NewEra...is it out for Motif yet???). Good Luck!
