I want to create a workspace full of rectangles (a.k.a Map Cuts). I
have had success in creating a rectangle in the cosmetic layer and
then saving it as its own layer, but this was all done by hand. The
problem I am having results from the rectangles needing to have
specific upper left hand lat longs, as well as lower right hand lat
longs. A sample of my Input file is below.

Map 1

upperLeftLong_1=-75.680000
upperLeftLat_1=40.695000
lowerRightLong_1=-75.28
lowerRightLat_1=40.39492

Map 2

upperLeftLong_2=-75.535004
upperLeftLat_2=40.511250
lowerRightLong_2=-75.065244
lowerRightLat_2=40.158594



I assume this can be done with MapBasic but I don't own a copy of
MapBasic. Is there any other way I can convert an input file such the
one listed above in a batch process so I don't have to do this by hand
anymore?

Thanks,

Mark
