If ArcView has no public specification of their Shapefiles, you can always tell your potential client all the problems derivated from using a privative and dark format. In fact, you *should* at least mention it. It will save you a lot of troubles in the future. If you explain it right, clients usually understand it and _sometimes_ they agree to move to open formats. Anyway, you should ask your client for a couple of examples of their shapefiles and compare them with yours. Maybe the difference is small and you can post- process your generated shapefiles to adjust them. -- María Arias de Reyna Domínguez Área de Operaciones Emergya Consultoría Tfno: +34 954 51 75 77 / +34 607 43 74 27 Fax: +34 954 51 64 73 www.emergya.es _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list [email protected] http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
