[Gvsig_english] Feedback on tools in gvSIG v 1.9

[Benjamin Ducke]

Yes, it's just plain gvSIG 1.9 with some enhancements
to the GUI and a bundled Java 1.6 (32 bit) JRE.
And of course a brand-new installer software.

Ben,

Downloading now. Will have a close look.

Can this version use all the files created with gvSIG 1.9? Especially 
project files?

Cheers Simon
