KML Home Companion 3.0.4 11/23/05 Converts ArcMap layers into Google Earth KML files Jim Cser, cser@metro.dst.or.us Offered freely to the community, but use at your own risk

This is an ArcMap extension designed to create KML format text files for use in Google Earth. I tried to create the simplest program that would do the job, so there is only a minimum of error checking or fancy features. Please feel free to modify the code, report bugs, or to make suggestions for future releases.
