Hi, You can use the native MapBasic for MapInfo. Or you could go down the MapXtreme/MapX route which allows you to create stand-alone GIS applications using C++, Microsoft .NET (C++ and Visual Basic) or Java for web-client/server type applications. If you need to distribute your application to people who don't have MapInfo licenses then you'll prolly need to use MapXtreme or MapX as the run-time license is a lot cheaper than MapInfo.
As far as other GIS software development kits go, I'm pretty much a novice. Hope his helps.

However, I think I could probably get more from it if I knew how to write programmes to get it to do exactly what I want. The problem is, I have no knowledge of computer programming. So, I think I will try to learn a bit more about this. What I would like to know is which computer programming language would be the most useful for MapInfo, and also for GIS in general? Thanks for any info, Debbie --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 15254 ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
