AEP->WOR... that would be a nice. Workspace files are well documented but I don't
think that
ArcExplorer project files are. They are however text files and very easy to read. It
would be
possible to convert the "known" attribute lines to WORs and assume that SHP files had
been
converted to TABs. Interestingly, a WOR->AEP translator would be much harder since it
would
involve parsing MapBasic commands. Also, much of the expression would be lost from
rich WOR
to very basic AEP.
If I have some spare time in the near future, I'll have a go at the AEP->WOR as an MB
utility..
