Hi,
Has anyone worked with shapefiles [1] or shapelib [2] with Lua? I'm going
to have to so I thought I'd ask before I start from the beginning.
(Cave-dwellers, pedants and hijackers: shapefiles are one of the data
formats supported by ESRI ArcGIS [3], a Geographic Information System. I
don't know a lot more about it at this stage, except that it's a binary
file format and to keep things fun it switches endianess of numbers between
the file header and the records in the file)
Cheers,
Geoff
