Aw C'mon Cliff,
Gert prefaced the message with *warnings* about not knowing the territory.
And I sympathize, even as a professional geographer and GIS practitioner.
Let's imagine a scenario in which Gert was given an ArcExport file or a
Shapefile for that matter and has to work in MapInfo. Since SHP files have
no projection info tagging along and Export files have it but only buried in
the guts of a mess of text, it is damn hard to figure out what you have to
work with. Same goes for CAD files. And although you'd hope to have info
from the originator of the data, that ain't always the case.
I am among the many list readers who find your input technically
fascinating, but sometimes rude. Keep it coming, but cut us some slack.
Respectfully,
Will Mitchell

Gert,
Would you care to divulge the particulars of this mysterious system you
have encountered, or should we
continue to guess until you are provided with an all-
encompassing solution to every mystery of the universe?
What are you talking about?
