RE: MapPoint 2000 "over the Web"?

FME at least works quite well, we already tested it, not for all formats. We
used it to convert 5 GB CORINE Land Cover file from Arc Info export format to Oracle 8 Spatial Cartridge format. If the query works, there is no reason
that this layer does not work within such configuration.

Couple the Office-on-line concept with the on-line conversion of products like
SpatialDirect
( http://www.safe.com/sp_info_frame.htm ) and users can get their data in any
format they need.

This, in theory.
