The easiest way to get it is to download the files you need already in
MapInfo format from Directions Magazine. Go to http://www.directionsmag.com
and look under Free GIS Data for Geographic Features. All the NOAA sets are
out there.

Subject: MI BNA files in MapInfo
> I was trying to import BNA files (Boundary Named shoreline files offered
by
> NOAA at http://seaserver.nos.noaa.gov/projects/shoreline/shoreline.html).
> File: GL80_04 for the Lake St. Clair, Detroit River and Lake Erie.
>
> Is there an easy way of importing it to MapInfo? I used GNA files
instead,
> converted them to MIF files with GENA2MI2 translator, and imported them to
> MapInfo table (both GNA and MIF were Lat-Long coordinates, and NAD83
datum).
> It worked (to a degree), but the shoreline was shifted by some 100 m from
> where they are supposed to be. Could anyone offer an advise on what could
> have gone wrong and how to remedy it? Thank's a million.
