70 -- SOURCE SOUGHT NOTICE FOR SOFTWARE Due 080795. Contact Carolyn J. Lippire, 801/974-3444. The USDA Forest Service, Geometronics Service Center is issuing a Source Search to locate software that will enable us to perform inspection and edit of digital cartographic data, create and maintain a database, retrieve from the database and process cartographic data into number of different formats for GIS and other input. The current automated mapping environment consists of a variety of Intergraph Corp. RISC based workstations and servers. These systems use the CLIX (UNIX)-POSIX operating system with advanced windowing capability. The core graphics software used for visual edit and inspection is Microstation which utilizes the Intergraph Design File format. Data structure and integrity are checked using Intergraph's Modular GIS Environment (MGE) and in-house developed edit programs. MGE provides a set of tools for checking digital line work in preparation for spatial analysis. Hardcopy symbolized edit plots are created using Iplot from Intergraph and in-house developed plotting software. Output is sent to a Versatec electrostatic plotter or a Calcomp pen plotter. Final map layer are output to an Intergraph film writer. All workstations and servers are connected via a Local Area Network (LAN) using TCPIP and XNS protocols. Anyone wishing to submit information or needs to receive a copy of specifications please contact Carolyn Lippire, USDA Forest Service, phone (801) 975-3444; FAX (801) 975-3478. Please respond no later than August 7, 1995. (192)
