[ezRETS-users] Fwd: Latitude and longitude coordinates forlistings

[Simon Sheu]

Hello Spencer,

could I see your sample codes? I have been struggling to get this to work.
It seems like we're working towards the same goal with the same scripting
languages. Right now I want to systemically download the dataset and images
for property listing into a SQL 2k DB with ASP front end. Ultimately I want
to dynamically pull both data and images and not store any on my web server.
I am about 1-2 months away from my goal but I need some thing up now since
the site is live.


Thanks
Simon
