      NEWSGROUP FOR GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (?)
_______________________________________________________________

Are there enough people out there in net-land who are
interested in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), large,
spatially-referenced databases, cartography, remote sensing,
spatial statistics and spatial analysis, etc., to start a new
newsgroup?

Alternatively, if some people are interested, might we agree 
to start posting items on GIS and related topics to some existing
network?  If so, which one?

If you are interested in these topics, please let me know, at
either:

dmark@buffalo  (CSNET)     or   geodmm.ubvms.BITNET

This item is being posted to comp.databases and comp.graphics.
I would appreciate suggestions of other networks on which it
would be appropriate to post this message.

     New Yor at Buffalo, Amherst, New York 14260
