Yes, this is really the most frustrating part of doing
anything with iTools. But, oddly enough, the same problem
pops up with shapefiles. I have two examples of using
shapefiles on my web page, and yet I get e-mails all the
time from people who are frustrated trying to read and
display shapefiles other than the examples I use.

I spent yesterday building a shapefile browser so you
could examine the file and entity attributes in a
shapefile before you had to try to decipher the darn
thing. It occurs to me that something very like this
could be written for iTools. In fact, the guy who
wrote it, Ken, would probably get rich. :-)

Cheers,

David
