Welcome to Atlas Place, the Atlas GIS download site, sponsored by Retail Profit Management on the RPM Information Network. Our objective is to assemble as much valuable stuff for Atlas GIS as we possibly can in one place for easy user access. That includes scripts and Atlas Apps, datasets in AGF and BNA formats, tips and pointers, and more. While the emphasis is on free materials, we will be more than happy to help developers and users to connect with each other by including demos and samples. For example, we have included a sample of our own MarketBank data files on financial service potential.

There is something here that is bound to be of use to every Atlas user, and we have not forgotten our friends in other countries outside the United States.

Do you have an Atlas resource that belongs here? We'd love to hear about it.

RPM is pleased to announce that Atlas GIS 4.0 is once again available for purchase. We will continue to sell Atlas GIS 4.0 until the ArcGIS extension is completed and delivered in the 3rd quarter next year (2002) -- and we will service and support both Atlas 4.0 and Atlas DOS 2.1 as long as there are users who rely on them . Further, we are dropping the price of Atlas 4.0 from $795 to $595 per copy -- but with electronic documentation and RPM technical support only.

CIESIN

Every Atlas user owes a deep debt of gratitude to the folks at CIESIN, particularly Henk Meij and Nathan Sovik -- and also Ralph D'Andrea who is also a legacy host of the list. While Henk has moved on from CIESIN to even better things, he did a great job of managing the AGIS-L discussion list and archives, and CIESIN (the Consortium for International Earth Science Information Network, sponsored by NASA) has assembled a definitive collection of U.S. Census-derived boundary files based on 1992 TIGER. These are organized generally by state and county, and are available in native Atlas BNA format.

Atlas 4.0 (available again in both 16 bit and 32 bit versions) will open the BNA format directly. So, if you need boundary files for the U.S., visit and register at CIESIN -- where you will also find copious amounts of 1990 Census data to tie to your boundaries.

ESRI

While we are handing out thanks and recognition, Atlas users should realize that we owe so much to Jack Dangermond, founder of ESRI. Many of us are in debt to Jack simply for his considerable role in founding the industry that employs so many of us, and for taking ESRI out on the leading edge among those of us who use GIS to help make a better world, as well as to solve business problems and make a living. Pointedly, ESRI has committed a tremendous amount of resources to improving and supporting Atlas GIS since acquiring the product in 1996, when they simply could have just let it fade away.
