I used SMAPS (for some reason I think it was pronounced "Ess Maps") for many many years. If memory serves, it is an acronym for Survey Manipulation and Plotting Software. That's my final answer. Boy, that was w-a-a-a-y back in the DOS days! I still have a version on 5.25 floppy disk. Wonder what Doug Dotson is up to?

Talked to Doug last year, he's not caving and no updates to smaps. He's in the Boat buss.

The SMAPS 5.1 manual does not explain the acronym.
The SMAPS 4.1 manual does not explain the acronym.
However, the SMAPS manual has the title::

Survey Manipulation, Analysis and Plotting System

(SMAPS)
