There are numerous commercially available programs to do this, such as: I have no reason to suppose that these are other than excellent programs (I have not used them), but they all suffer from one or more of the following problems:

Gosh, it aims to solve all the problems identified above! What a surprise. The present version of Mercator is written in tcl/tk which will come as no surprise to people who know me. So in order to run the prototype you will need tcl/tk version 8.0.4 for your platform. I do not preclude producing versions of mercator in other languages in the future should this be necessary. You can get the source of Mercator by ftp : To install, on *IX systems, run the program installMercator, on Windows double click on the winstall.tcl program. On Macs you need to do a bit more (easy) work until I get a proper Mac release done - if you want to know how mail me. I have set up a mailing list on the egroups system for people interested in Mercator. You can join by sending mail to mercator-subscribe@egroups.com or by filling in this form: |
