Hi Gillian,
Generate and ungenerate is great for those who can afford to have
ArcInfo on their desktops. For those who have ArcView 9.x, there are
good free solutions too I believe.
I have successfully used the Exchanger toolbox containing 2 python
scripts: shp2exch.py and exch2shp.py. These scripts do a similar thing
to a generate/ungenerate and might just be what you need. Details can be
found on the Mapzlibrarian blog
(http://mapzlibrarian.blogspot.com/search/label/python), look for
'Python Script: Shape to Text to Shape'.
If you want to use the gen format, it should be possible too with freely
available tools.
A quick google gave a few hits (also ArcView 3.x scripts) including:
shp2gen
(http://www.koders.com/python/fid17D241831B4ECF7595E8C3A1803BDEC0AE3DDBC6.aspx)
I haven't used this script but have successfully used the gen2shp (the
other way round):
gen2shp (http://www.intevation.de/~jan/gen2shp)
Not sure about ArcView 3.x, haven't touched that in years :-)
Good luck!
cheers,
Mark
