snippet at the bottom of Section 4 about gdaltindex and creating a tile
index shapefile. I tried that. =20
Here's what I typed: gdaltindex u_of_ill.shp
~/Desktop/UofImapSquares/*.gif
Here's what was returned to me:
It appears no georeferencing is available for
`/home/jimbo/Desktop/UofImapSquares/A0.gif', skipping.
It appears no georeferencing is available for
`/home/jimbo/Desktop/UofImapSquares/A12.gif', skipping.
and so on.........
Ok. Yes. I know. There's no georeferencing info attached.
But, how do I go about attaching georeferencing info? =20
And how do I create, edit, and view a shapefile?
And lastly, do I need a world file to determine a global position for
every tile?
I tried using a text editor Gedit (I figured What the Hey?) to open them
and nope - wasn't in UTF-8 encoding.
I did some digging Google and noticed that you can use ArcView GIS,
ArcMap, ArcGIS, and ArcCatalog to create, edit, and view shapefiles.
I also stumbled across posting that talked about ShapeLib created by
Eduardo Patto Kanegae and maintained by Frank Warmerdam.
I don't have money to spend on buying some GIS program, and ShapeLib
seems like the answer.
Could anyone help?

These .gifs have no georeferencing information included or attached as =
