grasslogo    GRASS GIS on CDROM

  GRASS GIS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) is a GNU GPL copyrighted Geographical Information System (GIS) with raster, topological vector, image processing, and graphics production functionality that operates in the UNIX environment through a graphical user interface and shell in X-Windows.

Are you getting mad of downloading this software through internet?
You can order the GRASS GIS CDROM. The CDROM contains always the current version of GRASS 4.2.1/5.0beta - the CDROM will be produced on demand to let you participate in ongoing GRASS development. By that, you will always get the latest version.

What is stored on the CDROM?

The CDROM is a full server snapshot.

The following software you can find on the CDROM:
  • Full source code of 4.2.1 with more than 330 modules now (for all unix platforms, tested for Linux, SUN Solaris, HP UX, it should be possible to compile it on other unix platforms as well)
  • GRASS Linux binaries (Intel/PC - with graphical driver for 8bit and 24bit - X11)
  • GRASS Solaris 2.6 binaries (UNIX - with graphical driver for 8bit and 24bit - X11)
  • The documentation package (containing tutorials, special reports, module descriptions etc.)
  • The sample data package (SPEARFISH, Imagery, World database, Wildfire sample data, Erosion modelling data etc.)
  • The new TclTKGRASS graphical user interface (Platform independent now. The required Tcl/TK library files are included as Linux binaries and also as source code with "plug'n'play compiling" for other platforms than Linux)
  • GRASS 5.0beta source code and selected binaries including NIZ 2.2

Why should I upgrade from GRASS 4.1 to GRASS 4.2.1?

Why should I upgrade from GRASS 4.x to GRASS 5.x?

What are the main capabilities of GRASS 4.2.1/5.x?
