If I understand you correctly, it appears that your two files that are in
different coordinate systems. In ArcView 8.2 one can convert one of the
coordinate systems to match the other using Arc Toolbox. However, you need
to know what the current coordinate system is of each of the shape files. If
you have no metadata indicating this, then you need to go back to the source
of the shape files and see if they have this information.
This is my understanding of it. Perhaps someone more experienced can give
you a better answer.
The on-line course at ESRI . . . Learning ArcGIS II discusses this problem
and demonstrates the solution. It also includes instructions as to how to
"georeference tabular data" like x,y coordinates. The key is knowing the
existing coordinate systems.
I have never used Av 3.2 so I can't help you there.

Subject: GISList: Line up 2 shape files
Hi list
I am using Av 3.2 and got 2 shape files for the same area. One represents
Land Parcels and the other for the streets networks for the same area. When
displaying them in one view one file display in the upper side of the view
and one in the bottom of the view . There is no meta data file for these
file, However These data has coordinates (x,y values). Any suggestion for
lining up the files together. Thanks in advance
Saeed
