ArcInfo

ArcInfo is the flagship GIS product of ESRI and it's custom ArcInfo Macro Language (AML) is the primary means of scripting and automation. However because ArcInfo is command line based, scripting is also possible from the operating system shell or in conjunction with other scripting tools like perl, tcl or python, though that is not seen as often. Note that beginning with ArcInfo v8 (aka ArcGIS) the primary scripting language is becoming Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

Though focussed on AML, this category is open to ArcInfo scripting resources written in other languages.

Currently most of the entries are to script collections, and very lean on links to information *about* ArcInfo scripting. Tutorials, good coding practices, tips and tricks, pet peeves, things to avoid, limitations, maintainability, etc. are examples of links I''d like to see more of.
