You may want to consider MapCalc Professional. It provides cross integration between its spatial analysis features and MapInfo Pro 6.x+ as well as Surfer 6.x+. You may down load a MapCalc Learner for evaluation via:

Dear colleagues! I created a DEM in Surfer 6.0, calculated the slope-orientation and slope-inclination and exported the file as a delimited ASCII-file. Then i created a table of points in MapInfo Professional 7.0. In the browser, I've got columns for easting, northing, elevation, orientation and inclination. In MIP 7.0, it is possible to create grids. But, I'd like to create tables, presenting elevation, orientation or inclination as polygonal areas. E.g. : areas with altitudes of 0-50, 50-100, 100-50 meters etc. or areas with slope-inclinations between 0-3, 3-6, 6-9 etc. degrees should each be represented as polygons. Does anybody know how to do so? Or is there a possibility to convert grids into polygons? Do I need other software or are there any mbx-applications existing? I'd be really happy if somebody out there could give me a tip! Thank you so much for your assistance! Alex Mercator (Geographer) --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
