Maptitude - http://research.umbc.edu/~roswell/maptitude.html
Peter,,
Do you know how the file format has changed from Tiger99? I downloaded some
of the sample Tiger 2000 Files from the Census Web Site (Massachusetts Block
Groups) and was able to import them without any apparent problems using
version 4.1 (April 11, 1999). Am I missing something? How can I tell if
Maptitude 4.1 imported everything properly?
Thanks!
Michael Kesselman
