SHPTOUCH.ZIP (17K) -- Shapefile header update utility

10/27/00

The EZ Shapefile class (see Classes) does not accurately state the file size in the .shp file header. For most applications such as ArcView that is not a problem, but some applications such as FME do not like that. SHPTOUCH is a command line utility that updates the file size in the header. Includes example scripts which use the EZ Shapefile class to create a shapefile and then SHPTOUCH to update its header.
