LSD codes and Canada Mapping

Updated 0900 Monday 26th June 2000

Robin Hi ! I've set up this page to document, for review by others, the LSD entry facilities recently put into GPSS.EXE v4.93 (pre-release) on the OLDNEW Page from which you may wish to upgrade your Baseline GPSS.EXE. If when you read this, the GPSS Baseline on the DOWNLOAD Page is alread v4.93, I will still be interested in your comments - even if only to say you've never heard of LSD :-) As I understand it, LSD is a kind of zip code or post code, applicable in rural areas of Canada.

Hitting Control-I on the keyboard should result in the LSD (Legal Sub-Division) Form appearing, which should provide a more user-friendly means of selecting a LSD as a destination.

We understand what we have implemented - if correct - is applicable to Alberta and Saskatewan - but it would be nice to make it as general as possiible.

For the facility to be used, there must be a list of LSD and their lat/lon locations, in a GTX file. e.g. if in $LR.GTX, the R should be hit, to select this file before Control-I. If in GPSS.GTX then this is the default GTX file.

Many of you may limit your comments to things like the correctness of terminology, or changes needed to make this facility more generally applicable in Canada. However, for those who want to test the user interface, some sample LSD data in included in $LR.GTX that you can auto-extract from LSD.EXE below:
LSD.EXE (2,507 bytes)

Put $LR.GTX extracted by running LSD.EXE in with other GPSS files.

I can be contacted via the CONTACT Page .
