Hi David, I have never worked with geophysical tools and data, but at CAA in Granada last month I saw Kenneth Kvamme doing a short demonstration of GPR data processing with common GIS software. He strongly advocated against the use of "black-box" data processing tools, and I'm inclined to agree with him. He was using IDRISI, on GNU/Linux you will find QGIS +GRASS or gvSIG to be good programs. Another question is if you also need to get raw data from your measurement tools. If you tell us a bit more about your workflow, we can give more specific hints. You will also want to read this short and gentle introduction to "Free and non-Free software" http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html and see how "freeware" is different from "free software". We like the latter :) Ciao, steko -- Stefano Costa http://www.iosa.it/ Open Archaeology
