I came across it awhile ago searching for a way to make tiles myself.
Here is another one, but I liked the Castle app better.

Another very useful program. I downloaded it and have been checking it out.
I think I might like it better than Irfanview.
Very Cool...Thanks&#33;

I know I must have some more good ones. I will dig around my drive today, and
hopefully find some more.

Good topic, going to pin it for now so it doesn&#39;t get lost.

Yeah, that&#39;s a nice one. Kind of buggy, though, in my experience. I use it for dabbling with the WW source, quite a futile effort on my part.

heh, some things muuuuch simplier to do in Linux (or using Linux tools). using convert from ImageMagick[.org] creating (four) tiles from one (512x512) image is done with just one commang
convert -crop 256x256 img.jpg img.jpg

Is there a free tool that can convert .e00 files to shapefiles? I found IMPORT71 that converts them into ArcView themes that the free ArcExplorer can read, but there isn&#39;t any way to export them to shapefiles from ArcExplorer.


edit: I found this, but it seems to be linux-only. :(

OziExplorer (there should be a free "lite" version) can import from ArcInfo E00 files and export to ESRI shapefiles.

That works, but but not very well because it doesn&#39;t keep the database info intact. For example, the geology map I was looking at has all the lines in the exported shapefile, but the dbf that comes out of OziExplorer doesn&#39;t have any of the geology info for each polygon that was in the e00 file. This make it pretty much useless for making maps. :(

Forestry GIS (fGIS) A++++

I&#39;ve just discovered that this one has an option in the utilities menu that can reproject shapefiles from UTM grid coordinates into lat/lon coordinates (what WW needs).

edit: If you don&#39;t already have the program then you are out of luck. Their site now says that as of November 7, the program is no longer free unless you work for the Wisconsin DNR. That&#39;s unfortunate. :(

Update: All is not lost. It looks like fgis was just providing a gui for, shptrans, which is still free.
