Assignment 5

The write-up for this assignment is to create a file on your home page with links to various GSP script tools you have produced. I anticipate that some of the following list will be included, but that you will also add items to the list as the quarter progresses. The write-up will be a library of GSP files with script tools.

The following file contains 28 GSP script tools that are helpful when working with GSP. These tools can be put on your computer permanently by placing this file in your Toolbox Folder. They will then be a part of your Custom Tools menu any time you run GSP. Your Tool Folder is located in the same directory that the GSP program files are located in.
