Subject: Re: Mapping Software
There are several good cave mapping programs that would probably be very 
useful for you..most have 3D, different colored levels and many other 
features. The easiest way to get them in OZ would be to FTP them. There 
are two sites I know of..
ftp.speleology.cs.yale.edu   and
gserv1.dl.ac.uk 
check the pub directory first.
I have tried Compass and like it. Others are Karst256, Comp0695.EXE (latest
version of Compass), and WinKarst (for windows).
Avoid SMAPS as it is older and costs $100 US. Most of the shareware I cited
is around the $35 range. 
Another program, CAPS, is good underwater because it accepts depth guage 
readings for the vertical component. It costs $35 US from Hubert Crowell
in Georgia, phone 404-971-7588 USA.
If you wish, I could send a 52k file which is a review of cave mapping 
programs taken from the NSS Cavers Digest.  Cheers, Paul Smith
