many thanks to all of you who took the time to suggest some spatial analysis tool or 
other to me. however, those tools are rather too sophisticated for my purposes (i.e. 
lacking proper statistical background knowledge I'm too daft to use them properly).
 
here's my problem: I got about 50.000 medieval students from all over central Europe, 
i.e. their places of origin, i.e. points on the map.
now I'd like to put a grid over my map, have the points per cell calculated, and the 
cells coloured according to frequency.
 
hints or instructions how to do this with MapInfo 6.5 (and whatever additional tool) 
will be greatly appreciated. would MapInfo 7.5 be able to perform the above operation 
on its own?
 
regards
Thomas
