>An additional question, is there any software available that will allow the display in a VFP main window images in .nitf format? These are semi raw satellite images that have not had the laborous task of being segmantized and saved as BMP. If this is ever found, the additional task is to plot locations overlaid on this image, which can be zoomed to actually view the location and them saved as either a BMP or JPG file. And ARCVIEW is not readily integrated int a VFP application. NITF imagery has its geo-boundries embedded in the header along with the resolution.

Doug,
AFAIK nitf format is supported by MapObjects ActiveX from ESRI. Arcview is not readily integrated to VFP forms but Mapobjects is. They had only one sample for VFP on their site but I hope they added (before there was none). For nitf format you don't need a separate world file as you mentioned geo info is in header.
Mapobjects is also very expensive as rest of ESRI products :(
