Dear Reader,
The Arcview class hunt is producing interesting and useful results. ESRI's ArcView development team has shared their list with us--outside the contest, to their enduring credit--so I know both that you have found some truly unknown and unexpected new class names that even they were not aware of, yet there are plenty more to be found. Your participation can still be very helpful; check in at the Hunt Center at http://www.directionsmag.com/avhunt/ Please be aware that the class hunt software has been upgraded four times, each time increasing its ability to find new classes.
Recent addition to the Free Data area athttp://www.directionsmag.com/datacenter/default.asp">http://www.directionsmag.com/datacenter/default.asp include 106th Congressional District boundaries and N.American fault lines. And many new free utilites have been added to Free Tools (http://www.directionsmag.com/tools/default.asp) in recent weeks. The Tools area also sports a nifty little feature that lets you browse tools by their starting letter.
We welcome two new advertisers this week, Autodesk and Cogiterra. The Contest area (http://www.directionsmag.com/contests.asp) also now offers some lucky winner a free copy of Cogiterra's CAD Fusion.
We are also proud to welcome the first of our section sponsors: the folks at ERMapper are sponsoring the Map Gallery (http://www.directionsmag.com/mapgallery/) during the month of March.
