scale, scalebar & units

[Stephen Lime]

Could be an error in the conversion factors in mapscale.c. I don't use kilometers
much. What data are you using that stores is coordinates in kilometers? That's not
real common.

Allright, befuddled.
I have a spain demo i'm tinkering with...the entire country is 0.8 miles 
across according to the scale.  My map units are set to kilometers, 
scalebar is defined (also kilometers with intervals of 4) but not scale (as 
the doc tell me the app will set this).  In arcview the shapefile yields 
correct distance measurements.  Where do i look for an answer?
