Dear David
You can associate workspace files!
All you need to do is load explorer:-
Select View Menu
Folder options
File types
and add ( or edit existing) to associate WOR with PROVIEWER %1.
I can't see how you can really knock free software!
Anyway free or not I think ProViewer is a really significant product and
will help make MapInfo the de facto standard here in the UK.
OK - so I am biased - By Design are a MapInfo partner! But seriously the
ability to view and print workspaces I believe will make full MapInfo
the choice for the more serious GIS as well.
We have a product called ProPrinter which can create and edit workspaces
that ProViewer then reads. This allows users who perhaps would never
have bought MapInfo ( or worse still would have gone to Eek View! ) to
scale maps, print copyright etc.
Details about ProPrinter are on our Website at bydesignwales.demon.co.uk
So how about wiping ESRI ArcExplorer now ??
Just kidding!
Regards
Bob.
