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