I agree that creating buffers based on the value of an attribute would be
useful.  At my company, we do some buffer analysis that might benefit from
this capability.  I might be able to justify the time to extend OJ's buffer
tool (which is currently in sync with SkyJUMP).

Based on Ravi's past requirements for features that support "mineral
prognostication" (I love that term), his definition of buffers might be more
complex than mine.  :-)  For our use, however, I can imagine needing the
capability to compute the buffer distance based on a formula entered by the
user.

Larry
