PinsToFile
----------

PinsToFile is a small utility (a nicer word for "quick hack") for 
Microsoft MapPoint that iterates over all pushpins in a set you can 
specify by name ("My Pushpins" by default), and writes their names and 
coordinates to an ASCII file. That's all - no comments export, there's 
no error handling, if e.g. MapPoint is not running or the pushpin set 
does not exist, it will display a cryptic error and exit.

PinsToFile was created to help a non-programming end-user to solve a 
specific problem - I have made it available for others happening to 
have the same problem.

1. This program is free, there is no support whatsoever, but it comes 
with a full money-back guarantee. There is no support.

2. If it crashes or doesn't do what you want or would do exactly what 
you want with just that one tiny addition: see item 1. above. Did I 
mention that there is no support ?

Instructions for use:

- Launch MapPoint
- Open a saved file or import pushpins (start with a small number of addresses to test)
- launch PinsToFile.Exe
- specify the name of the pushpin set you want to export
- press "Start Export"

If it works which I don't guarantee, it will create a semicolon-
delimited ASCII file "latlon.txt" in the directory where the EXE 
resides, in the following format:

Name;Latitude;Longitude
"Untitled";37.8671037559338;-116.94307737937 
"Untitled 2";37.2056089052505;-111.237489175293 
"Untitled 3";34.0867789912289;-104.81693428593 

This can then be processed further, e.g. imported into Excel or a database.
(You're on your own here - there is no support :-)
