D. Sudger: The ccmplexity of the cracking sysreTn could range 

 from a si.-npie ?C program ro acquisition of a complex GIS system. 

 A preliminary plan entails working with the Natural Resources 

 Information System (NRIS)*, to help design, develop, and 

 implement software. A ?C program would be created for 

 agency/department use and would tie into a statewide data case. 

 The system would provide the opportunities to access t.he GIo 

 capacilities of .MRIS. A preliminary budget based on this option 

 is offered.
