SPAM-LOW: Re: [mapguide-users] Creating

[Andy Morsell]

Actually via direct contact with some of the developers.  I'm not sure I
should give out their names and emails here, though.... Your best bet would
be to post these issues to the Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise discussion group
since it really is a Studio issue:

Thanks for the reply Andy. It looks like I could really do some damage with
MapAgent, should be fun :-)

If another voice lobbying Autodesk would help, I would be glad to put in my
vote for these changes. Are you submitting these requests through ADN?

Thanks

George
