Hello list,
Some recent discussions about the new ArcINFO 8 and what is and isn't a
'real' GIS have led me back to an old question. I thought I'd pose it here
and see what happens:
Q: What can ArcINFO do that MapInfo can not?
I haven't used AI in several years, and I've seen so many tools, ut
For Montana data, a fantastic resource is the state library NRIS...

Hello List,

have a couple of polygon tables, one of airspace and the other of land
use. I'm trying to calculate acreage of land use classes underneath the
airspace polygons. What I need is the proportion sum of the area of

Thank you for your responses to my proportion sum question.
