---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Generic Mapping Tools (GMT), a set of UNIX tools designed for high-quality
display and manipulation of spatial information, has been ported to OS/2 Warp.
More than 50 utilities are provided for data analysis and display. Good
documentation for all routines, as well as a Tutorial and Cookbook, are
provided as postscript files. Installation must be on an machine using HPFS.
All graphical output is in the form of postscript files. Therefore, in order to
effectively use the routines, one must have a postscript printer or use
software such as Ghostscript/Ghostview, which can print postscript files on
non-postscript printers. The GMT routines are especially designed for mapping
scientific data. GMT has its own web site,
http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/wessel/gmt.html
as well a an e-mail listserver for user support.
The OS/2 port of GMT has been uploaded to the HOBBES OS/2 archive
(ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu), and can be accessed as
In /pub/os2/apps/graphics,
gmt4os2b.zip [executables]
gmt4os2d.zip [documentation]
gmt4os2s.zip [sources]
netcdf_2.zip [netCDF library, NOT required by executables].
Note that this port of GMT requires the EMX run-time library,
available as
/pub/os2/dev/emx/v0.9c/emxrt.zip at the HOBBES site.
GMT is licensed software, but there is no charge for its use.
