<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">There was a lot of GIS going on. There
was ESRI (only Arcinfo), Intergraph, GRASS. A lot of government grant
money for universities. LandSat had been around for 10 years and
people were doing classifications and trying to analyze the results. The
WMD's were already using Arcinfo. I used Arcinfo 20 years ago and
it was version 4.3 so it had been around for awhile. I did my thesis
(1985-87) with custom software based on IMGRID software written at Harvard
in the mid 70's when Jack Dangermond was a grad student there. We
had computer science students customize routines for our analyses.</font>

gis harvard". It's interesting history.</font>

If the time does not conflict with one of my presentation
<br>
assignments, I would be interested. My only question is the bit <br>
about the History of GIS since I only started in 1994 although I did <br>
work with mainframe computer programs to map things back in 1969 or <br>
1970. Given the capacity of the mainframes back then, what GIS was
<br>
being run 20 some years ago? .<br>
