I am a new subscriber to your list but I am fascinated by the
potential of GIS. Could anyone tell me if their is a software GIS
package for Canada that is connected to the postal code or any other
system such as town name that data can be related to to gain a
geographic representation.
 
I should probably also communicate with our geography department which will
facilitate some interdepartmental communication within the university
for a change.
 
Thank you.
