Satellite Images of the World
*********************************************************************
Satellite images of much of the world are available from:
http://edcwww.cr.usgs.gov/landdaac/
although translating the data back to graphics sometimes may be
cumbersome...
Good luck.

Subject: GIS summary
Thanks to all who found time to reply to my request of info about a simple
GIS for wildlife management.
Here I resume the suggestions given:
IDRISI (http://www.idrisi.clarku.edu/) has been suggested as the
right choice by 3 researchers (although "It does take some time to learn")
PC Raster (ftp://pop.frw.ruu.nl) ("simple but not limited in its
applications and capabilities); 3 suggestions
GRASS (http://www.cecer.army.mil/grass/GRASS.main.html; available
for DOS, Win & (with some complication) Unix); 2 suggestions
Arc-Info 2 suggestions
The following have received 1 suggestion each:
MapMaker (rather a cartographic browser than a GIS)
REGIS
ERMAPPER (that turned out to be rather an image analyzer than a GIS)
TNTlite (http://www.microimages.com; free+commercial version;
available for practically any platform an OS)
One researcher suggested to try asking in comp.infosystems.gis.
Again, many thanks!
Dr Paolo Cavallini
