>From: Clint Rowe <address@hidden> >Organization: UNL >Keywords: 200404071613.i37GDQCT027942 McIDAS AREA AXFORM Clint, >I have a colleague who wants to extract some data from AREA files. >What's an easy way to do this? It depends. What does s/he want to extract? If the person wants to get values from the AREA file in a textual format, then s/he should look into using the McIDAS application AXFORM. If the objective is something else, I will need more information before coming up with a recommendation.
