About...
This extension is the result of a cooperative project between the
Norcross Wildlife Foundation
(Wales, MA) and the
Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation
(Boston, MA).
If you find any bugs or errors in the extension, or have any comments, please forward them to
David Kimball [davidfkimball@hotmail.com]
or
Nathanael Lloyd [nathanael.lloyd@state.ma.us].
Please include an exact description of any error messages encountered and what you were doing when they occurred, as well as what version and date of the extension (you can find this out by clicking on the extension’s name in the list of extensions under ), what hardware platform (Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, UNIX...), and what version of ArcView (3.0a, 3.1, 3.2, etc.) you were using. The extension was developed on a Windows NT 4.0 machine running ArcView version 3.1. The extension has been tested extensively on this platform, and minimally tested using version 3.0a on a Windows 95 machine, version 3.1 on a Unix platform, and version 3.2 on an NT 4.0 machine.
We will probably not be able to answer many ‘how do I do this...’ types of questions due to time constraints, but we will try to respond to bugs you may find. Suggestions, of course, are always appreciated.
This help document is best viewed using a recent version of Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 4 or 5), which is downloadable for free.

1.2
- The current version is 1.2
- Released September 2001
- The previous version had a bug where projections involving UTM zone 18/19 gave bad coordinates (off by a few hundred meters). This affected the following options: Add Points from X,Y Coordinates; Write X,Y Coordinates to Theme Table; Add New Point tool (Attribute Editor). Avenue is not very good at projections! These projection options were only set up for use in Massachusetts so users from other areas and anyone who was not using the extension to project UTM coordinates should not have been affected. This problem was fixed by borrowing some code from the MassGIS Dataviewer's GetPoint script. Thanks to MassGIS' Aleda Freeman!
- Clicking the Help buttons gave the wrong internet URL for this help document in a pop-up message box. This was fixed in this version.
- A few other minor changes were made.

- The first publicly available version is 1.1
- Released December 2000
