Lexington, MA (August 1, 1995) -- Able Software Co. has announced a new 
release for its automated raster to vector conversion software, R2V for

and satellite imagery using intelligent vectorization technology. It

satellite image formats and exports vector data to ArcInfo, ArcView 2, 
MapInfo and DXF vector file formats.  

R2V provides a complete set of on-screen vector editing and labeling 
functions. Vectorized contour maps can be easily labeled using the
