TextPipe is very useful in extracting the information we are seeking
I take large GIS (Geographic Information Systems) datasets from various
government agencies and produce maps for print or digital (web) display. Many
of the datasets are in assorted and sometimes esoteric formats and my software
(ESRI Arcview 3.3 and ESRI ArcGIS 8.3) is very specific (and extremely picky)
about the format of imported data. I mainly use TextPipe for these data
