I have placed recently on our some updated applications: Reg2Plin32.zip and Plin2Reg11.zip (conversion of a region table into unique polyline segments and back into regions) had a problem with the call to the menu into which it was installed (Tools replaced by ID 4). That change would interest mainly those who are using not-English menus.
LayScale32.zip solves some problems only recently detected: error in calculated scale when ratio height/width of frame > that of window and option "fill with contents" used for the frame; error in maintaining custom values from one scale to the other. My thanks to Tim Mashford (Victoria Police, Australia) who detected the errors, help me in testing the revised version and who wrote : "You should also let Australian and English people know they can change the spelling of "Metre" and "Kilometre" in the .ini file. We shouldn't have to suffer just because Americans can't spell!" I want to keep away from further discussion on the subject, being an uninvolved outside observer. Reg2Plin32.zip and Plin2Reg11.zip on www.paris-pc-gis.com/download.htm in the PPCC section LayScale32.zip on www.paris-pc-gis.com/download.htm in the MLC section I take the opportunity to send a warning to users with MI under Windows 2000. It seems that Service Pack 5 may be the cause of MI crashing when an application tries to get to the "regional settings". It happens with LayScale that uses the Format$() function; if one uses a , (comma) as "thousands separator", MI will use the "regional settings" separator even if the settings are "original US" (not automatically and only the comma as indicated in my MB guide v6.5). If one experiences such a crash, he can do two things: 1 -not ask for the numerical scale to be displayed, 2- call me with the specifics of the crash. If it turns out to be a major problem, I could add an option for displaying non formatted numeric scale.
