History
Dick Banks, a Colorado School of Mines graduate, and Joe Sukkar, Ph.D, began a partnership in 1969 with the development of a contour mapping software package based on Triangulation (topology). Triangulation is more rigorous than gridded contour map software because the original data points are always honored, and not estimated as in Grid map software.
