Dylan,

   This module needs to have the column name and attribute already present.
My data source has nothing in the table other than ID information (based on
long/lat and name, if available). There may be other ESRI look up tables
with reach length and other useful data, but I've not converted those from
.dbf to SQLite.

   I suppose that I need to digitize on the monitor to get the lengths, but I
wonder how accurate that would be.

   Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich
