[CTPP] UA conversion

[Wrafter, Eoin]

I agree Brian I too had someone do the conversion in ArcInfo and it
matched the results from TIGER reader in ArcView 3.2.  Although the
field name is incorrect it appears the underlying data maybe correct.

I too have found this. I had someone with Arc/Info graciously convert a
few
counties worth of 2000UA data for me. When I ran TIGER Reader in ArcView
and
chose "Urbanized Areas 1990" as the field to extract, the results
matched up
exactly with the Arc/Info converted files. Has anyone else noticed this?
It
appears that TIGER Reader may be doing the conversion correctly, even
though
the field is named incorrectly.

    I also used the Tiger Reader in ArcView 3.2a in an attempt to
extract
the UAs.  I am, however, puzzled by the following:  a) if this Reader
only
extracts 1990 data, why was one of the layers titled ALR/LUCA 2000; and
b)
after reprojecting the extracted UA90 layer and overlaying my block2000
census data, why do the boundaries match up almost exactly (except for a
couple of donut holes) ?  Could it be possible the Reader actually
extracted
the 2000 data, but is using the old field naming convention?   
   This list serve has been a great relief knowing there are others out
there trying to work through the same problems.

I tried using Tiger Reader in ArcView 3.2a and have had no luck.  The UA
data record also appears to be 1990, not 2000.
We have cross-border issues and split urbanized areas and would really
like
to see the new boundaries before the Fall.
Someone out there must know of a fairly simple process(or develop a
simple
process) to convert the boundary data into an ArcView shape file,
considering the proliferation of ESRI products.
