Both of our choices use a web server as its repository, allowing us to work (although I am not so sure about Subversion). We are using subversion for version control, although I haven't really started using it as much as I should (I still like to have sub directories with previous versions and code - but I largely work alone). My programmers have been using it and are impressed. Its TortoiseSVN windows interface makes it all pretty simple. We can use the same product for all the programming platforms and documents. Its even accessible over the web if you install it on a web server. For bug reporting/ ticketing, have a look at zero to one. We're only getting up to speed on it now, but my old partner uses this extensively and while its simple, it does the job. We're also looking at a to do list manager, and while zero to one can be made to do it, it is not intrinsically a project management tool. I would be interested in your findings on options for combined bug control/ project management/ Timesheet? Tool.

Re: [MI-L] File Types
Andrew, I think that the CRV extension is used by Cities Revealed (formerly GeoInformation) in the supply of their aerial imagery. The data is actually in SID format. Change the extension of a file to *.sid and MapInfo will recognise it. The CRV version is needed for their free viewing software. I suspect that the SDW files provide georeferencing information in the same way that JGW does for JPG images. Do you not have any documentation on the subject? If not have a look at: http://www.citiesrevealed.com/aware/aware_fr.htm Ian >>> "Andrew Tracey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/05/2006 10:53:09 >>> Dear AllI have been provided with some Aerial photos in a crv format, is there any easy way of registering these i n mapinfo v8?With the data was a series of .sdw files which seem to contain the coordinate information, is there any way of converting these into a MapInfo format.Thanks in advanceAndrew TraceyInformation Support OfficerInformation TeamChief Executive OfficeSouth Tyneside CouncilWestoe RoadSouth ShieldsNE33 2RLTel: 0191 4247561E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED]Please do not print this e-mail if you can help it - and help protect the environment.This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the named recipient.

[MI-L] SUM: MapBasic StdCall DLL usage
Yesterday I asked how to code a C function in a DLL that returns a "pointer to void" (void *) value for a MapBasic application. The answer is that any pointer is just a 32-bit integer and its value is the address of whatever structure it points to, so you use an Integer in MapBasic and pass it ByVal to subsequent routines in the DLL that need it.

RE: [MI-L] Summing up areas of several layers, exclusive of overlap
Nathan, I think you should go in a different direction. Way not combining all the records in your tables into one table. Then you can select all records and combine them into one single object (Unless the number of nodes gets to big ...) And finally you can do an areacalculation of this single object. You could also insert one layer at a time into the new table and for each new layer you want to insert, you first select everything from the new table, set this as target, then you select everything from the layer to insert and do an erase. Now every part of the objects in the new layer tha overlap any part of the objects in the layer to insert will be deleted. Finally you insert the records from the layer into the new layer. Again you finish by doing an area calcualtion, this time by Selecting "Sum(CartesianArea(OBJ, "sq m")" or Sum(Area(OBJ, "sq m"), depending on your coordsys HTH, Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer, MTM Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.
