following is a description of the files in the current utility
set.AGGREGATE OBJECTS This utility will aggregate lines and symbols
togethergiven a starting size and add factor based upon duplicate
lat/long values.API TEST This utility shows calling the windows API

when youfirst map it. DISTANCE TO OBJECTS This utility will
calculate the distances of points toother objects like shorelines,
hospitals, etc.FIND STREET INTERSECTION This utility will find a
street intersection doinga string search from the 2 streets if the
intersection is not foundoriginally.FINDER This utility finds
locations in MapInfo - it also shows how toaccess the MapMarker API
from within MapInfo/MapBasic.FIXED LENGTH ASCII IMPORT This utility
will import a fixed length ASCIIfile into a MapInfo table. FONT

MAKER This utility will make a mapper consisting of user
definedlegend. LINES TO POINT (DRAW) This utility will draw lines
from a central point outto a table with objects within it. MAPBASIC
TOOLS This utility will show the styles for a selected object
andbuttonpad positions which can be used in MapBasic code.METADATA
ASSISTANCE This utility will help manipulate the metadata in
aMapInfo table. MOVE MAP LONGITUDES This utility will move the
longitudes of map objects- i.e. so that Russia isn't split on our
map.MULTIMEDIA ASSIGNMENT This utility will allow you to associate
apicture/movie with a record in a MapInfo table.NODE COUNTER This
utility will count the nodes in a table. OBJECT WITHIN This utility
will tell you the amount a given table ofobjects is within a given
table of region objects.OPEN HIGHWAYS This utility will open
multiple state highway files. OPEN MULTIPLE FILES This utility will
open multiple files up at one time. OPEN STREETINFO FILES This
utility allows for the easy opening ofStreetInfo files including
water, streets, etc.OPTIMIZE LOCATION This utility will optimize a
locational point using aweighting factor. OPTIMIZE TABLE STRUCTURE
This utility will optimize the structure of atable by comparing
column widths with maximum lengths of values in eachcolumn.PARALLEL
LINE This utility will allow you to select a line then create
aparallel line off of that given a distance and angle.PARSE COLUMN
VALUES This utility will parse the values in a specifiedcolumn to
create new rows in a table - helpful for geocoding.POINT DISPERSION
This utility will disperse geocoded points given a tablename based
upon duplicate lat/long values.PROJECTIONS, ETC. This utility will
display all projections of specifiedtype for States Map. PROPER$
This utility will update specified column(s) in a table to be
ofproper$ syntax. PROXIMITY SEARCH This utility will do a proximity
search around a selectionand bring up a browser of chosen objects
within the buffer area.RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR This utility will
generate random numbers giveneither a min - max for values or a
min-max for character fields.RE-PARENT WINDOW This utility will
re-parent another MapInfo window. REPLACE CHARACTERS This utility
will replace a specified character stringwith another. RING BUFFERS
(DOUGHNUTS) This utility will generate doughnut-shaped ringbuffers
around selected objects.SEAMLESS MAINTENANCE This utility will show

etc.SYMBOL CHANGER This utility will alter symbol attributes of a
selection ofobjects in MapInfo. SYMBOL SETS This utility will allow
loading of different symbol sets andgrouping of symbols into
sets.TABLE STRUCTURE This utility will output an ascii file with a
tables'sstructure and then start notepad with it.THIN REGIONS This
