Written by Meridian-GIS Its very user friendly, easy to set up - easy to use worth a look. www.meridian-gis.com.au HOWARD ADDISON CAD/GIS CO-ORDINATOR AngloGold Australia Limited Level 13, St Martins Tower 44 St Georges Terrace Perth Western Australia Telephone (08) 94254649 Fax (08) 94254663 <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----Original Message----- From: George M Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 24 January 2002 0:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: MI-L Metadata To be complete, you can read and write Metadata including adding keys, descriptions about your map, etc using Tools>Table Manager. It is not elegant and user friendly but it does work and comes with MI pro. I dont recall how evolved it was with MI 5.5 where Alicia is but I believe that it was there.
