Huntsville, Alabama-based Intergraph Corp is to distribute the Kuwaiti Municipal Database to firms that receive reconstruction contracts: the Kuwaiti government purchased its first Intergraph system for computer-aided mapping in 1983, and the Kuwaiti Municipal Database was completed by the Japanese contractor Mitsui & Co in June 1990; a $5m Intergraph system was removed by the vandalising Iraqis during the occupation period and the government has asked Intergraph to prepare a proposal for a replacement system consisting of an Intergraph VAX server and Unix workstation hardware, plus mapping, geographical information systems and land records management software; Intergraph estimates it may receive up to $15m over the next three years from sales of application software and workstations; also, Intergraph has made several product announcements including ModelView PC which enables users to add colour, patterns and other properties to three-dimensional models; NetVideo, a distributed processing management product set which monitors, controls and processes ModelView images; and IRAS/PC, which integrates raster display and editing functions with Intergraph’s MicroStation 4.0 to create vector graphics data on an MS-DOS personal computer.
