[fdo-users] Arcview reading FDO

[George McLean]

Thanks for your input Jason. I agree, it would be great to have an 
ArcGIS FDO provider. We are always running into the bias that GIS = ESRI 
and an FDO provider for ArcGIS would go a long way towards defusing that 
view. I am guessing that building an FDO provider would be a pretty 
large project and I am not sure I could devote the resources to it but 
it would be a great tool to have.
