When I get back home in a couple of weeks I can forward my notes if you're interested. I initally fastened on to qgis as my one true tool, but it fell off the wagon when I discovered it couldn't edit shapefiles (I need to delete unwanted elements). In the end I had to use a combination of tools (GPSMan, Open Jump, QGIS, gdal utilities) as no single one of them would do the trick on their own. Sadly, for the finished map I needed to steal time from the office and use ArcMap. Oh well, maybe next year. :) -matt I recommend you also take a look at OpenJump http://openjump.org/
