SCO Shape Compression

[scottb613]

Hi Folks,

I uploaded a new Shape Compression Utility this AM - if anyone tries it - please confirm that the downloaded executables still have the images from the thumbnails. It's the first time I've ever compiled code to include an image for the executable. I just want to be sure it wasn't linked to some specific resource on my machine.

Many shape compression utilities have issues with specific shapes - this utility is a DRAG and DROP solution - by Directory only - that will Compress or Uncompress all shape files in the directory that is "dropped" on the respective tool. No need to find the path to shapes in the tool - processing occurs in place. I haven't found a valid shape it won't process. This calls the same utility Route Riter would - "TSUtils" - so it requires Java and the TSUtils "Classes" directory installed in Java to work.

Thanks.

Regards,
Scott

Dear Scott,
I have to thank you enormously for your program that solved a problem for me with .s files (uncomp and COMP), which I was running with FFEDIT_SUB but I must have in my PC a problem with .NET Framework; with your program I solved the compression and decompression and so I have to tell you many thanks, you did a great job. I salute you and thank you again.

Hi Folks,

Version 1.2 - added individual file functionality - now works on both - entire folders - or - specific shape files - dropped on the executable.

Hi Folks,

Version 1.3 - added support for:

• Tile (*.t) files
• World (*.w) files

NOTE: When processing entire Folders - the program first checks for applicable files in the Folder to determine the method of processing - if none found (*.s *.t *.w) - the program aborts.

Scott
