Tom,

You're right, I did change to a newer computer which has 64-bit architecture...  How would this cause a problem?

Shapefile testing / standards

by Ken S. Elvehjem :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Hi,

I've been using shapelib (by way of compiling the executables) for years
now, and we've been fairly happy together.

These shapefiles are produced in sets: a Polygon for an agricultural field
boundary, a "samples" or Point shapefile for sample locations, and
optionally an Arc set for line data.

Just recently, I have encountered a problem where the ArcExplorer program
"likes" my shapefiles just fine, but some other "commercial packages" will
not read the "Arc" shape, claiming a problem w/ the .dbf file.

Is there someone on the list who is good at shapefiles and is willing to
look at a couple of examples?  I generally just need a kick in the right
direction;>)

Sincerely,

Ken
