Subject: Do you know anything about GRDSS... (developed at IISc, Bangalore)
GRDSS is a GRASS (Geographic Resource Analysis Support System,
http://wgbis.ces.iisc.ernet.in/grass) based GIS. GRASS is an open source GIS
that works on the GNU/Linux platform, but most of the applications are in
command line arguments. The command line syntax for GRASS was time consuming
for individuals with limited programming skills. In order to overcome this, a
user-friendly graphical interface GRDSS (Geographical REsources Decision
Support System) was developed with all functionality of GIS and image
processing. It aids decision makers and planners at a decision support system
to visualise the decisions with spatial and temporal decisions along with
capabilities to capture, store, process, display, organise, and prioritize
spatial and temporal data. -- From GIS@development, August 2004 p 20.

Subject: [ANN]: twander 3.160 Released And Available
'twander' Version 3.160 is now released and available for download at:
http://www.tundraware.com/Software/twander
The last public release was 3.146.
Existing users are encouraged to upgrade to this release as it has
a number of bug fixes and several nice new features including:
- Mouse popups for all the menus (except Help).
- Ability to force Unix-style paths under Windows when doing substitutions in
command macros. (Very helpful for cygwin users.)
- A smarter "adaptive" directory refresh mechanism.
- A new "Shortcut" menu for fast navigation around the filesystem.
Complete details of all fixes, changes, and new features can be found in
the WHATSNEW.txt file included in the distribution.
Users are strongly encouraged to join the twander-users mailing list as
described in the documentation.
What Is 'twander'?
==================
'twander' is a macro-programmable Filesystem Browser that runs on both
Unix-like systems as well as Win32 systems. It embraces the best ideas
of both similar GUI-driven programs (Konqueror, Windows Explorer) as
well as text-based interfaces (Midnight Commander, List, Sweep).
Or, If You Prefer The "Elevator Pitch"
======================================
'twander' is:
- A better file browser for Unix and Win32. (Tested on FreeBSD, Linux, Win32.)
- A way to make browsing the same on all the OSs you use.
- A macro-programmable tool that lets *you* define the features.
- A GUI navigation front-end for your shell.
- A way to "can" workflows for your technically-challenged colleagues.
- A way to free yourself from the shackles of the mouse.
- A way to significantly speed up your day-to-day workflow.
- A Python/Tkinter application - about 3100/1300 lines of code/comments
- A RCT (Really Cool Tool) that will have you addicted in a day or two
See the web page for more information, a screen shot, and the complete
documentation.
