This is very true. Some of us are tied into our Local Authority GIS
system, and this may well not be a 'standard' software package, such as
MapInfo, ArcView or AutoCAD. The option to move to more compatible software
may not be available. I concur with Tim, allowances will have to be made for
the use of a variety of software when considering standards. Do we have a
current assessment of the GIS software in use by British SMRs?
