<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Speaking of documentation with figures and nice explanations. I hate to point the finger at a competitor and say - "We should be more like them", but have you seen IBM Informix Spatial Blade documentation? That is one fine piece of work.</FONT></DIV>
