Creating shape file for tiled images

[Don Silvia]

Michael,

Thanks, I'd be interested in any way to automate the process.  I've never 
created an image catalog in ArcView, and the help documentation makes me 
think that it's pretty labor intensive.

I've started working on creating the shapefile using the Shape perl module, 
which is a worthwhile exercise for me.  But I can't help thinking there has 
to be an easier way.

I know others have done this, and I'd appreciate hearing their solutions 
too.  An example of a tileindex shapefile would be really helpful.

Thanks,

Don Silvia
