Yes Mark, it is related to GIS. Then, you might advise to use some GIS
package. However, I have have 100s of *files* - these files are
basically ARC vector layers exported as ASCII files (lon, lat, ...,
attributes). For instance, I have 50 sites where the surveys have been
done in two different times (hence 100 ASCII tables); estimate the
absolute changes (residuals or differences). I believe that there
should be some way of doing it in IDL...
