Yes. The shapefiles output from TGR2SHP will be different than those constructed by the ogr2ogr and Xastir-tigerpoly.py scripts. It would probably be necessary to write different dbfawk files to use them. The fact that the dbfawk files connected with the shapefiles we've been using are called 'tgr2shp.dbfawk' and 'tgr2shppoly.dbfawk' will no doubt lead to confusion, because whenI created those two files I had no idea there was a commercial tool called TGR2SHP, and just gave the dbfawk files a descriptive name. Having never used TGR2SHP, I don't know if there's a clear advantage to switching tools. The process is sufficiently complex that there are things that are missed by the ogr2ogr/Xastir-tigerpoly.py method, so maybe there is a good reason to switch. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
