error

I have two versions, Arcview 3.3 and 8.2. New: After some (alot) of time the other day I downloaded some shape files with Coordinates of WGS84 and they worked slick. I realized that the shapefiles I had been trying, Massachusetts, use NAD83, MA Mainland and metric settings. I know Arcview can change this, but only if the files include a .prj file (projection file). Of course MA has to be different and not bother with these files, at least not for the moment. I did a quick search for WGS84 shapefiles, imported to Mappoint and no problem. You can find some other programs that will change files from one to another, but, big bucks. I have found a program called DMapper and will experiment with that.
