RE: MI-L Create directory using Mapbasic?

This has already been implemented in MapBasic source code using the Windows APIs. My implementation is not complete because I don't offer the user the ability to create a new folder, but I think that some one did this some time ago - it might have been Bill Thoen (was it you, Bill ?) Another

RE: MI-L Create directory using Mapbasic?

Peter Yes, I realise that. I guess I should have been more specific - MB is missing some simple functions. Sure, a lot can be done (as with any language) by straight calls using the Windows API to the Windows DLLs, but (like in Microsoft Visual Basic - eg, the DIR() function) it would be useful

RE: MI-L Fly thru add on

Upinder, I am not aware of any 3d fly through software for MI other than the (now defunct?) Virtual Frontier by NorthwoodGeo (designed to work with Vertical Mapper) and (the also defunct?) PAVAN (3d scene renderer specificaly for Mi..), Its possible that Mapinfo have acquired the 'rights' to

RE: MI-L Create directory using Mapbasic?
