To display parallel lines, I created line styles in MapInfo Line Editor. I
just put 1,2,3...,10 pixels off the center line and I can display multiple
dataset on the same line/pline. But, I'm limited to 128 line styles within a
*.PEN file, so I have to sacrifice existing line Style or swap *.PEN files
between each workspace.
I don't know exactly where to find the application, but I think it's on
http://www.mapinfo.com site. Surely someone know the exact URL.
Have a nice day...

MapInfo won't allow you to map parallel lines so being able to offset the
second/third etc data set would be really advantageous. I have only seen
this functionality within another GIS package called TRANSCAD marketed by
Maptitude. This software was written specifically for transportation
modelling but has a useful display function of being able to display
parallel lines/polylines and not polygons with filled patterns.
Any ideas?
