SRT2NRIS	Attribute Automation & Update	Convert coverage created by SRT to NRIS Water data standards.		ALL	7/10/2000
STREAMLINE2	Grid tools	Create a stream coverage in a similar manner as is described in "Surface hydrologic analysis" in ArcDoc. However, STREAMLINE2 employs two outside programs, RESAMPLE2 and FLOWDIRECTION2, which lead to better results.		IBM	10/4/1999
SUBST	Attribute automation & update		More Info	All	09/29/2003
TIMECONVERT	Reporting	Convert time between seconds and hours/minutes/seconds.		All	3/9/1996
TOKEN	String manipulation	Like the [TOKEN] function, but reads the elements from a file.		All	7/3/1999
TRACEROUTE	Dynamic segmentation	Similar to ARCPLOT TRACE, but the input is routes instead of nodes, and the output is in the form of a route system. There is one output route for each input route.		All	5/5/2000
TRUENORTH	Mathematical & trigonometric	Calculate grid-to-ground rotation angle between grid north and true north. This can be used as the {rotation_angle} in ARCCOGO.		All	4/1/2000
