comment How can I reclassify a raster to floating point values?
allows for a join if scaled properly and appropriate field data exists for the join. I guess I assumed this would have been obvious beyond a 1st year GIS course...but point taken

comment python script to calculate and return values based on several conditions
conditional statements in arcmap are carried with the Con statement. Read the appropriate help files for your version. Con is like an "if" statement in other programming languages. If you want to implement this in pure python the the if-elif-else syntax will work. Details are needed.

comment create grid cells of fixed dimension around a point acting as a centroid
Whuber, Perhaps I was thinking of what happens when using a UTM projection, then trying to perform a select by location (within) which produces erroneous results if the selection grids are not densified prior to projection.

comment create grid cells of fixed dimension around a point acting as a centroid
Yes PolyGeo, originally this designed to run in 10.0 ArcView and it should run at all license levels in 10.0 and 10.1. It also allows you to produce a point file showing the locations of the densified points if they are needed for other analyses.

comment Is it possible to create map packages for ArcMap version 10 using 10.1?
Mapperz had already posted what your proposed. Read his post and you will see the ALL option was already indicated. Welcome to the site in any event.

comment Field added to raster data is not visible in attribute table
Was the table open when you did this? Did you try closing then reopening the table? See Polygeo's explanation as well.

comment create grid cells of fixed dimension around a point acting as a centroid
I would also suggesting Densifying your 2 x 2 grid since the actual resultant polygons will not be a true representation of the grid cell once projected. They will be flat in the East West direction rather than having the appropriate curvature which would be expected when following a parallel. See resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/geoprocessing/… and experiment with various densifications (eg start with a 0.1 or 0.2 degree densification)

comment Best way to get the overlapping segment of two lines
Just a wild guess, is that there may be some option to specify the output geometry type. In many packages the default output is a line, so check O-S to see if you can modify the output. I know it can be done in other packages, but for specific input geometries.

Add an arcpy.AddMessage("file " + layerfile) after the print layer file, and compare to the results of the print statement

Then could you provide the results of the print statements Brian so the line of failure can be examined?

Check out costpath analysis in the help files. The requirements to get the actual path, and hence, its length etcetera are explained there.

comment Tabulate Area crashes Python and ArcGIS
I would put some arcpy.GetMessage... lines in your code to provide some feedback so you at least know where it is failing of no errors are being reported.
