Seth,

As soon as I get my hands on these, we'll send them over in DXF format...

greg,

i think we can do a considerable amount with the unstructured plans.  please
send them along to me and to "bmg@graphics" (you can reply-all to this
message) when you can.  patrick is doing his MEng this term only on this
project, so the sooner you can get us the data, the better.  (he will make
it work for most other MIT buildings, but we're really excited about making
it work for stata to help all the confused inhabitants and visitors find
their way around.)

if you have layers containing space names and office numbers
or any info of that type, please send it as well.  even if it is just
unstructured collections of labels, we can work with it using our current
tools i think.

yes, as the more structured plans become available, please send those as
well, and we will incorporate them.

seth.
