EasyMPS v0.61.215

Description:
EasyMPS is a tool I'm developing that imports .loc EasyGPS files as downloaded from Geocaching.com, .gpx TopoGrafix files as saved by EasyGPS, and .mps and .gdb Mapsource files, and exports them as Mapsource or EasyGPS file format, allowing a few tweaks to the file along the way.

What good is that?

Well, ordinarily, the only way to get .loc and .gpx files into Mapsource is to:
1. Open them individually in a program such as EasyGPS
2. Upload them individually to a GPS receiver
3. Download the GPS receiver's memory to Mapsource
4. Or, downloading back to EasyGPS gives a merged file
What EasyMPS allows the user to do is import several .loc, .gpx and .mps files alongside each other, then export them as a single .mps or .loc file.
Thus EasyMPS acts as either a file merger, or a file convertor, or both!

Time, effort and bother are all saved!

Is EasyMPS a standalone application?

Not enirely, no. It uses the files msvbvm50.dll and comdlg32.ocx. Chances are you already have these files. However, if EasyMPS complains about not having them, download them in this zip (lib.zip) and extract them to your %windows%\system32\ directory - just copy them in (it's normally c:\winnt\system32 or c:\windows\system32)
If you're on an NT-based computer (NT4/Win2k/XP) and don't have permission to write to the %windows%\system32 directory, just copy the files to the same directory as EasyMPS.exe, and it'll work

You might also need comctl32.ocx. This should be unzipped into the system32 directory too.

EasyMPS also makes use of the Microsoft XML library, and some people have reported an ActiveX error when running EasyMPS. In the event of this, download and install the Microsoft XML parser 3.0 SP4. Once downloaded, right-click the .msi file and select "Install" from the context menu.

Requirements:
- Windows
