Still Learning

Editor



Thanks to everyone who responded to the "Special Startup Offer"; it gave me a much-needed boost.

This issue, I'm trying out a different font for program listings. Also, I'm printing the user name and password for PLP Online on the back page, to avoid conflict with the natural impulse to throw away the envelope with the mailing label.

Those whose subscriptions are expired or expiring will have their account info printed on the notice. Subscription costs and related info will be also printed for the benefit of accountants who won't have an issue of PLP in front of them.

North American Rate

As of April 1998, new subscriptions or renewals for U.S., Canada, and Mexico will be $35 (still U.S. funds, though). This is a special offer that hopefully will remain in effect at least until the end of this year. Charges made to subscribers as of April 1998 will reflect this amount.

Coming Soon

I'm going to try to get V6N6 out in time to hand out at the ESRI User Conference. Just for fun, I'm joining the PLP mailing list to ArcData city points to produce a map of subscribers. Your mailing label will show your coordinate in Decimal Degrees to give you an opportunity to correct the value.

I realize that PC users are under-represented at the ESRI User Conference, but if you do attend please drop by the PC user lunch group to say hi!

Also, I'll be scanning in the indices for past issues of PLP, and will make them available at the Web site. If you'd like to see a past article reprinted and/or updated, let me know.

Idrisi Users!

Later this fall, perhaps V7N2, I'd like to devote at least part—if not all—of an issue to using ESRI software in conjunction with Idrisi raster GIS software. If you have any tips, tricks, or anecdotes, don't hesitate to submit them.

By the way, if you have any special tricks for using ESRI software in conjunction with any other applications (e.g. Office, Illustrator, Visio, Web pages, etc.), PLP is the place to publish them.
