>>>2. Along the lines of above, but a way to cross-tab records (like Proc Freq in SAS, Crosstabs in SPSS) Perhaps you could try storing your data in Access, and define a crosstab query in access, and link to it using ODBC? Mind you the link to Access is not too stable if you have indexed fields, unless that has been fixed in V6.5? >>>4. Aerial interpolation. Buffers or other polygons overlayed over a target layer to estimate the attributes of one layer from another. I have population and incomes levels in a set of block groups, how do I estimate those numbers for a school district which cuts across block group boundaries, or for a set of buffers around, say, a cell phone tower or a toxic waste site? This cannot be done in any vector desktop GIS except Maptitude www.caliper.com (that I am aware of) It can be done in ArcInfo but not without pulling a tooth first. you can use the function ProportionOverlap(Table1.obj,Table2.obj)* Datacolumn in a SQL statement to get the value of the Datacolumn that is appropriate to the intersecting area of the two tables.

Each year a attend the reseller conference and the question is asked what improvements are needed in MIPro. The issue of the new version of the ESRI product and the release of MIPro 6.5 has caused some comments on MapInfo-L. We all know that some desired features don't have the benefit versus cost appeal. The folks at MapInfo read Mapinfo-L. So here is the question. What is missing and what is needed to move the product forward? I'll print out the responses and if I go to the annual meeting I will give a copy to the MI Pro folks. In any event, the MapInfo folks will see your responses. The MI Pro developers are good folks and do listen. They have the same desire and drive I see on Mapinfo-L. Certain needed improvements may stick out to the MIPro developers when you respond.
