Alan,

I believe you are missing the point of a news groups altogether.

Any fool can get thousands upon thousands of google, altavista,
northern light, yahoo or many other search engine references as you
and others have remarkably demonstrated ad nauseam.

99.9% of these are totally useless for any purpose whatsoever.

Every reference I have found so far relating to my specific task at
hand, is for processing survey data of a nature much different from
what I want.

What I object to is guys like yourself who insist on responding with
useless garbage displaying no knowledge or relationship to my specific
problem merely to show other followers of this group that you think
you are some kind of authority on what? - search engines? rinex?
gps?

Who knows why you keep doing this?

Frank Looper has helped with a specific reference to a web site where
there is homespun post-processing software that may be of help to me.

Robert S. Lawrence has just added some interesting comments on DeLorme
PostPro 2.0.

There are probably others who have tried what I want to do and cannot
do it, or maybe have been successful and haven't responded yet.

So you are wrong about the purpose or function of this group. I guess
it is casual entertainment for you, but not for everyone.

If you have some specific understand and knowledge of the problem I am
trying to solve, by all means speak up.

If you haven't, then please stop wasting time - mine, yours, and
everyone else's, posting your google results. I spent far too much
time sifting through that stuff before I ever brought it up here.

I never asked others to mine data for me - I asked if anyone had any
specific experience or knowledge to share.

You obviously do not, so please go do something useful this year and
stop posting on this thread.

Or - keep posting your silly shit - at least it keeps the thread
alive.

Best regards for a happy and prosperous new year.

 - Tom
