I'm getting the impression that a lot of list members are good at Maptitude but are not aware of the awesome power of the GISDK that comes with Maptitude (at no extra cost--unlike other GIS products!) If you do anything repetitively in Maptitude, it is a candidate for automation using the DK and for many things a small program can be written very quickly that can save you hours and hours of hand work in Maptitude.
In Maptitude go to Help-Contents-Help for GISDK-Welcome to GISDK Help!-Outline of Topics to see everything about the DK organized by topic. This is the best way to find specific functions and macros. To repeat, a small investment in a DK based addin can save you a lot of time if you use Maptitude a lot. Virtually anything you want to do can be automated with a menu, dialog or toolbox interface addin. To add to what Chuck Hast said, Armando and I have written hundreds of these small programs as well as major applications for many users since the DK came out in 1995. I have subcontracted Dk work and continue to subcontract to Armando, and also worked side-by-side with him for over a year and can attest that he is an expert in GIS, Maptitude use and GISDK programming. He is fast, thorough and conscientious and I highly recommend him for your DK work. He is unquestionably the most capable GISDK programmer available as a consultant right now.

[Big Crass commercial plug] Armando does a lot of commercial work built around Maptitude, he really knows it well and can do work for you if you need something done, and can not get it done in house for whatever reason or just need some work done and do not have the time,people, >>fill in your reason<< He offered his services to me for some work for my company, but our Oracle person "decided" that she could make Oracle do what I needed done so we did not take up his offer, but anyone who goes that extra step to get my attention deserves my commercial plugs. Put him on your list of people who can make Maptitude dance for you. [End] Armando, thanks and a big hand to you from the Maptitude user community.
