Let me assure you I'm am cursing Microsoft Office as we speak. My point isn't that .doc is a good format, but it is readily available to read in many software packages (some very free and open). Things like ESRI's File Geodatabase are probably formats that I would tend to agree are an impediment to sharing data, but I don't see how any of the MS formats are limiting people using them or creating them. -- James Fee, GISP Associate TEC Inc. voice: 480.736.3976 data: 480.736.3677 internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
