Actually, they have a custom land development package they use, based on
AutoCAD. Apparently what they have is a standard for use in land surveying
- they love it, except for the fact that they were running it on systems
with 128MB of memory and generic ATI Rage 128 video cards... Once I
scrounged them an extra 256MB of memory they were much happier :-)
