So my question is, obviously, you know, when we're dealing with the traditional shapefiles, we're dealing with most controllers that are taking a shapefile need a DBF, SHP, SHX file at the very least.

But for those three that we find most frequently across all platforms, do we find that we can somewhat standardize or do we have a pretty standard? I understand that the database file can be different on the shapefiles going to different controllers, but are the SHP and SHX formats fairly similar?
