Read this which states "The Shapefile spatial data format is open and published by ESRI.

ESRI developed and standardized the format, and certainly deserve credit, but it is not exactly a proprietary format exclusive for ESRI (this is counter to what the article says.

Okay, I'm somewhat agreeing with your comments to keep the ESRI prefix however: I think there should be a second and separate shapefile entry. Other products now use shapefiles and variants of the shapefile much in the way other non-MS office products use Excel spreadsheets. ESRI established the shapefile much in the way Microsoft established Excel files. I agree with changing it from ESRI Shapefiles to ESRI Shapefile. I will do this in the comming months, unless I see any claim why the ESRI prefix should be kept. Therefore, I suggest moving this article to Shapefile as there are no other things out there with that same name.

Reading the ESIR shapfile spec, page 2 says "Integer: Signed 32-bit integer (4 bytes). I am changing the external links back to the old version.

I also think it was done to promote a certain product. The external links were changed less into a listing of links as they should be and instead became a discussion. They are different for the spatial and tabular indexes. I am going to clean up the file types used to make shapefiles to include both the types made in ArcVIew GIS 3.x and those made by using ArcGIS.

From this page "A shapefile must not contain both polyline and polygon data, for example, the descriptions for a well (point), a river (polyline), and a lake (polygon) would be stored in three separate datasets." - Preceding unsigned comment added by KrOstir ( talk Is not a shapefile, but as it is said a simple vector map.
