[Qgis-user] Georeferencing Vector Files

[Springfield Harrison]

Ok, thanks.  I'm installing QGIS on W7 yet again, trying to achieve 
better functionality.  That is a challenge in itself, prone to wrong 
turns.  Hopefully the VectorGeoref will then work.

This whole install process is a real piece of work . . . . .

                 Thanks again, cheers . . . .   Spring Harrison
