Re-upload of my application since the crash of PSC ... not sure why this app didn t make the CD? Anyway, this program is much like ESRI s ArcCatalog, but only works with shapefiles (.shp/.shx/.dbf). Explains the reading in of GIS data the ESRI shapefile format (.dbf is poorly done) but, there is also some viewport scaling lessons for those interested in converting world coordinates to device coordinates. I may upload an enhanced version with more appropriate .dbf access. I also need to solve the lack of colour categorization of linear features instead of having just black linework. Hope this provides useful code for those geographer/programmer out there!
