PathEdit is a commandline utility that will add or remove folders to the System or User Path entries in the Registry. I wrote this to work with the Inno Setup Installer. It includes the source and Makefile for Borland's Free C/C++ compiler. Also included is the unix code getopt/getopt_long ported to work on Win32 with the Borland compiler.

Version 1.14 adds a new option to quadtree tiling to control the maxdepth. Thanks to Daniel Morissette.

Version 1.13 adds a command line -v or --version to print the current cvs version number of the source file. So the numbering has jumped from 1.4 to 1.13.

Please upgrade to at least shp2tile 1.4, it fixes some serious bugs that were found by Bob Basques tiling some large point files, but the problem is generic can happen under some conditions on any file. You do not need to re-tile data. The problem was a divide by zero that resulted in crashes and other more obvious problems.

shp2tile is a utility that will divide a large shape file into multiple smaller tiled shape files. Development was originally sponsored by Luca Pescatore and it is released under GPL. shp2tile 1.1 includes some nice enhancements made by Daniel Morissette from DM Solutions to generate square area tiles and to do a quadtree like tiling that limits the maxium number of objects in any given tile. See images of sample output for Middlesex County, MA tiled into a 4 X 4 grid and here is the same area tiled using the --quadtree 4200 option

A version compiled for windows is included in the MS4W package from maptools.org.

A Double MetaPhone implementation for PHP. This is a significant enhancement over the Soundex aglorithm and can be used for fuzzy word or name matching. Here you will find the PHP Class you can download and use in your PHP applications. You might also want to check out a new port of this done by Kirk HERE
