AutoCAD, Autodesk Map or AutoCAD LT*  (compatible versions)

          Significant discounts on AutoCAD and Autodesk Map are available to
          government agencies and educational institutions.  For network users,

          Use of a plotter is optional.  A plotter will allow you to create
          certain types of large format maps and plant lists that cannot be

          or larger plotter that  supports Windows, uses roll-fed paper, and
          can create long-axis plots.  Large format color inkjet  plotters are
          ideal for this  purpose.

          lists in 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) or 11" x 17" (A3) format.
