KGM Utility Bundle Version 4.

01
===============================
The files contained on this disk represent a set of functional utilities
developed in MapBasic to automate and extend various MapInfo tasks. Upon
installation of this utility set, options are added to the default MapInfo
menu system which will aid the MapInfo "power user" in performing various
MapInfo operations. This file describes the procedure for installation of
these utilities.
PLEASE NOTE: these utilities are provided free of charge. They are intended
to increase your effectiveness in the use of MapInfo. However, no warranty
is made as to their use or operation. MapInfo technical support, while
supporting the MapInfo product, cannot assist in the use of these
utilities. No committment is made to update or support these utilities in
any fashion. MapInfo will not be responsible for any effects resulting from
the use of these utilities. Please feel free to distribute these utilities
to your fellow MapInfo users, so long as you include this informational
file.
THESE PROGRAMS REQUIRE MAPINFO FOR WINDOWS VERSION 4.0. They will not run
under previous versions, or on other platforms.
To install the utilities, run the utils40.exe program (or whatever the file
you downloaded was named). You will need approximately 2.5MB of disk space.
=========================================================================
NOTE: If you choose to install these utilities into a location other than
c:\mapinfo\mb_apps\mi4, please note the following instructions:
1) Using a text editor (i.e. notepad), edit the file "startup.wor". You
will see the following line of MapBasic code:
run application "\mapinfo\mb_apps\utility.mbx"
Edit this line to point to the full path and directory where you
have installed the utilities, i.e.
run application "d:\mapinfo\myutils\utility.mbx"
2) Open MapInfo, ignoring any error messages which point out that your
workspace was not loaded.
3) Open the table "utility.tab", located in your mb_apps subdirectory
(or the one you created to contain the utilities.
4) From the MapInfo menu, select Table-->Update Column. Select the options
as follows:
Table to Update:
UTILITY
Column to Update:
FilePath
Get Value from Table:
(Irrelevant)
Value:
type here your path, ie
"\mapinfo\myutils"
NOTE: in quotes, no ending "\"
5) Click OK. This will update the location in which the main utility
application expects to find the various utilities.
6) Close MapInfo and re-launch it.
=========================================================================
Next using a text editor (i.e. notepad), edit the file "mapinfo.ini"
which is in you \windows directory (if not create a new file with that name).
Copy the following section into that file:

[KGM Utilities]
USAPath=C:\MAPINFO\DATA\USA
WorldPath=C:\MAPINFO\DATA\WORLD
CityInfoPath=C:\MAPINFO\DATAPROD\CITYINFO
StreetPath=C:\MAPINFO\DATAPROD\STREETS
HighwayPath=C:\MAPINFO\DATAPROD\HIGHWAYS
CensusTractPath=C:\MAPINFO\DATAPROD\CTS
CountyPath=C:\MAPINFO\DATAPROD\USCOUNTY
Edit this section to represent where your files are installed. The USAPath
and WorldPath represent the default directories that install with the MapInfo
product. The CityInfo, Streets, Highways, CensusTract, and County paths
represent where your other files are installed (if purchased). The utilities
do not actually need these extra files; however, some utilites will open up
these files if they exist.
=========================================================================
Once the files are installed and copied properly, launch MapInfo,
and then go to File--->Run MapBasic Application and choose the file
called utility.mbx that is in the directory you installed the
utilities into. If you want the utilites to run automatically
whenver MapInfo is run, move the startup.wor file out of the
directory you installed into and put it into the directory where
the MapInfo program resides (mapinfow.exe). The file called
utility.txt gives a brief description of what each utility does.
