I am looking for a user command or mdl that will allow a user to snap
to a grid point on a profile, prompt the user for the datum elevation
and vertical exageration (5 & 50 = exag of 10), then prompt the user
to snap to the point they want annotated and place the text down on
the datum line with a given rotation style etc.. It would be nice to
give it a bunch of points in batch mode too but one thing at a time.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

You should get in touch with DMA. If you an "apprtoved requester" they
will give you geoid heigt data bases on 1 degreee and 30 minute grids
with interpolation software. Anyone can get DMA TR 8350.2 "Department of
Defense World Geodetic System 1984" which has a contour chart and 10
degree
grid table based on the first 18 terms of the expansion.

The Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Bristol has an
old (20+ years, valve electronics) Zeiss Stecometer which we wish to
dispose of. It is, as far as we know, in working order but has been in
storage for several years. We need the space and so it must be disposed
of before Christmas.
It is available free of charge to anyone prepared to collect it.
Contact Ray Linham (Ray.Linham@bristol.ac.uk) on 0117 928 7718
(FAX: 0117 928 7783) if interested.

The Goddard Space Flight Center/DMA Geopotential Model EGM96 
coefficients as a well as a geoid grid and gravity anomaly set are 
available via anonymous ftp at geodesy.gsfc.nasa.gov/dist/nkp
An evaluation by NGS is available at Dr. Dennis Milbert's "Geoid Page"
at www.ngs.noaa.gov/~dennis/geoid.html#egm  His site has a lot of 
useful information related to geoid modeling with links to other 
good resources.
