[Freegis-list] ShapeLib and Delphi

[Lewie Dekker]

Hi,

I've been trying unsuccessfully to use the ShapeFile / ShapeFileII utility 
that supposedly lets a Delphi program read/write shape files using the 
shapelib.dll. However, I'm not even passing the compile stage of an empty 
project that only attempts that register the dll functions! Obviously I'm 
doing something wrong, but I haven't got a clue after a day of frustration.

Is there anybody in this list who has successfully mastered the use of 
shapelib from within delphi? If so, could you post a tiny bit of project 
code showing f.i. on how to open a shape file? That might be all I would 
need to get going.

Tia,
Lewie
