Map File Work

[James Tuthill]

Hi Tyler,

Thanks for the recommendations. I think QGIS is based on MapWindow - 
however it has a much slicker interface and it slightly easier to use.  
I don't have access to ESRI ArcView but I have requested an evaluation CD.

Does anyone know a good free shape file editor? as the one in MapWindow 
is quite buggy.

Thanks,

James
