formats.

Depends on your needs. If you need a fully featured GIS system you should
take a look at GRASS:

http://grass.itc.it

Not that universal, but surely worth a look is Forestry GIS:

Somewhat in the same league plays the German KartenExplorer:

http://www.bfav.de/kartenexplorer

If you only need a program to *view* the mentioned formats or visualize
some linked data you might be happy with the Esri ArcExplorer:

http://www.esri.com/software/arcexplorer

There are quiet a few other viewing tools, converter programs, and so on
on the Net. A good source for information about these (and about free
data sources and such) is always the FreeGIS server:
