you'd likely want to project into an appropriate system (UTM is fairly easy to
determine programmatically) and run the area calculation on the projected
geometry. There would also need to be some unit handling/conversion stuff
in place for a generic tool, as well as checks to make sure you have a valid
polygon, etc.</SPAN></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
